How can your business thrive in 2025? Become a sponsor for the 2025 Art & Apples Festival?! ?? The Art & Apples Festival? is a 3 day fine art festival happening the weekend after Labor Day.

In 2023, PCCA received $3000 in GivingTuesday donations to make improvements to the art gallery. While we had some setbacks this year with urgent building improvements, we are excited to share that to cap off 2024, we placed an order for some custom display risers to evolve how we display work in the gallery! We plan on making more changes in 2025, and we are excited to finally be able to fulfill our dream of 2023. Thank you to everyone who supported PCCA in 2023 and 2024.
