Ways to Support Us

Become a Patron

For the Center to continue building on our mission and programming, we need help funding our day-to-day operations.

Would you consider being a patron of the Center?

Historically, a patron has been someone who financially supported an artist or skilled laborer to create art for the patron’s personal or community enjoyment – think Lorenzo de’Medici’s patronage of Michelangelo and Botticelli in Renaissance Florence, or Peggy Guggenheim in more modern times. 

Here and now, we are seeking Patrons of the Arts to support our Center and its community programs. Becoming a patron of the Center involves a few things:

▪Donate to us online, in person, or through the mail.

▪Come to our programming. Our events calendar is updated weekly on Facebook.

▪Join us for our Annual Meeting. Dates will be emailed out and posted on our social media.

▪Certain donation amounts will receive specific perks.

Floorboard Drive

If the Center floors could speak, they would have a million stories to tell. From births, marriages, wars, music, learning, lectures, performances, visual arts, parades, and every celebration of life in between, for 165 years, Hanover Arts has been at the center of it all in the Ashland/Hanover community.

Would you consider helping us replace our floors with historically accurate materials?

The current floors were installed in the early 1900s and were placed over the original floors from 1859.

  • Each level going up includes the benefits of the previous levels.

  • Donations of $500 and up will be eligible for an actual floorboard from the building.

  • Donations of $1000 and up will be commemorated with an engraved brass plate on a floorboard of the new floor.

  • The first $12,500 will be matched with a grant from the Town of Ashland.

  • Floorboard Drive Donors at every level will be invited to a hard hat tour when fundraising is complete and construction begins.

  • Portions of the original floor (underneath the current floors) will be donated to the Ashland Museum with a plaque recognizing donors at the $500 and up levels.
