Golden year: Staunton Augusta Art Center marks its 50th

A group of arts and culture enthusiasts got together in Staunton in 1961 with a simple mission: to make the arts more accessible to people in Staunton and Augusta County.

Their effort led to the founding of the Staunton Fine Arts Association, known today as the Staunton Augusta Art Center, which is marking its 50th year with a series of events highlighted by a Golden Gala at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel in May.
