VADA Capital Campaign
The Friends of VADA (FOV) has launched a $10.75 million dollar capital fundraising campaign to expand and modernize the Academy’s aging buildings, transforming the campus into an integrated Design Lab and Art Studio. The new campus will provide the flexibility and space needed to prepare VADA’s creative minded students to flourish.
FOV has successfully raised $7.25 million to enable commencement of construction on the new Design and Arts Lab with a completion date of December 2024. FOV continues to work with private, local, and state organizations to raise an additional $3.25 million to complete phase two of the project.
