Our Board and supporters firmly believe that the ARTS matter to communities like Watonga by providing            *  Economic Development Opportunities

                            * Well-rounded educational programs for our young people

      *   Preserved heritage and culture

                             * Enhanced quality of life

Our 2015  End of Year Annual Report is available at “watonganews.blogspot.com”.  Our goal for 2016 is to establish an Arts Center in Watonga where children and adults can engage in creative activities and enjoy the benefits of the ARTS. 

This year the Foundation was able to award the first annual Arts Scholarship to a high school senior, thanks to the support of community donors.  The $250 scholarship went to Katarina Larson, who intends to continue her education in the field of study of the Arts.   After graduation this month, Ms. Larson will be participating in an internship at LucasFilm’s Industrial Light & Magic Studio in Marin, California. 

 Phoenix Circle Foundation continues to strive to work with community partners for the benefit of our young people.   Anyone (individuals and businesses) can help us achieve our mission by a tax-deductible donation, or by attending our Liquid ART paint parties,  Oklahoma House Concerts, Wood-fired Pizza Dinner fundraisers, and ART for FUNd$  ^© opportunities.   For More Information, see our Facebook  Pages and “LIKE” us, or call Linda Barrett at 580-623-4269.
