Keep Arts & Culture Thriving in Ridgway

Great programs don't happen by accident. They happen because people like you make them possible.

In 2026, Ridgway Chautauqua / Sherbino presented more than 130 events, including 37 live music performances, across the Sherbino Theater, 610 Arts Collective, Courtyard, and other community locations.

From unforgettable concerts and summer festivals to films, author talks, comedy, art exhibitions, and community gatherings, we create opportunities for people to connect, learn, celebrate, and experience something extraordinary.

We also open our doors for moments that go beyond traditional programming—including memorial gatherings honoring beloved community members.

But ticket sales, bar revenue, and gallery sales cover only a portion of what it takes to make all of this possible.

Your unrestricted donation helps us:

• Bring exceptional artists and cultural experiences to our community.

• Keep programming affordable and accessible.

• Support the staff and artists behind every event.

• Maintain welcoming, well-equipped community spaces.

• Continue producing free and low-cost programs.

• Respond to unexpected expenses without sacrificing our mission.

Unlike a traditional rental venue, we actively develop, curate, and produce programming for our community. That work requires year-round planning, dedicated staff, and dependable funding.

Your gift supports more than a single performance. It helps sustain the creative heartbeat of Ridgway.

Thank you for keeping the arts thriving!
