ESSA is a nationally recognized arts destination in the Ozark Mountains, welcoming individuals of all backgrounds to experience art and fine craft, and we are growing to better serve our community! 

We have launched an $850,000 initiative to improve our infrastructure, starting with the acquisition of adjacent land to enhance the safety and visibility of our entrance and secure space for future expansion.

All donations will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous challenge grant from the Windgate Foundation.

We have $57,000 remaining to raise to trigger the challenge grant of $175,000. The challenge grant will match dollar for dollar all donations received up to $175,000, and will propel us to reach our goal of $850,000!

This effort is part of a larger multi-million-dollar campaign. The first phase will address urgent safety concerns, particularly low visibility at our current entry and exit points, and lay the groundwork for future growth. 

Future phases will expand studio space and ensure the long-term sustainability of ESSA’s facilities. This growth will enhance our ability to provide high-quality arts education and foster a vibrant arts community.

Since 1998, ESSA has grown into a 50-acre campus with seven teaching studios and over 100 workshops annually. With your support, we can continue to inspire and engage future generations.
