As we change to keep up with the arts-based needs of our community, our Board of Directors and the Brandon House team are considering a major expansion that would not only provide us with more space, but will offer opportunities to create a trained diverse workforce through arts-based programming. With enthusiasm, vision and careful planning, the Board has determined to officially launch a major fund-raising campaign.
