Generous Donations Ensure a Successful Event!

The Quinlan Visual Arts Center would like to send a special thank you to the sponsors that made Paint the Town possible. Not everyone is aware that the Quinlan Visual Arts Center was selected in 2006 to receive a $10,000 grant from the National Endowment for the arts as part of their Challenge America: Reaching Every Community program. It was this grant that brought new opportunities to the Quinlan in the past year in celebration of its 60th Anniversary. 

Paint the Town was planned as an opportunity to celebrate the artists of Gainesville and surrounding communities as a culmination of this anniversary celebration. We would like to thank the National Endowment for the Arts as well as the following local sponsors that have supplied us with their donations, time and services:
