About Us
History
Windmore Foundation for the Arts, Inc. was founded
in the spring of 1987 under the working title of Culpeper Center for
the Visual and Performing Arts. The name Windmore was chosen to honor
the dairy farm that once operated at the site of our amphitheater.
The Foundation is based in Culpeper, Virginia and was created to promote
the arts in the Piedmont area. Since its inception, Windmore has been
a patron of theater, art education, dance, literature, music, and visual
arts.
It remains our goal to maintain the diversity of
the arts represented and increase the participation of people from
all ethnic and economic backgrounds. Windmore was awarded the Governor’s
Award for Community Service and Volunteerism in 1996.
The Windmore Foundation includes four active branches,
The Artists of Windmore, Windmore
Writers, Windmore Community Theater,
and Windmore & Kids.
