GREETINGS

It gives me great pleasure to congratulate Earth Center for the Arts on its mission to build community and enrich lives throughthe arts.
Earth Center’s home at the historic barn in Tyler State Park will be a place for citizens of all ages and backgrounds inBucks County and beyond to engage in art classes and workshops instructed by local artists. Earth Center will serve community members with its diverse array of arts programs through classes in pottery, beading, stained glass, woodworking,

fiber arts, and music. They will provide opportunities for the community to connect and create together. Through special subsidized workshops, Earth Center will provide transformative arts experiences to families, women and children who could not otherwise afford them.There will also be programs that bring the healing and uplifting powers of the arts to families and children struggling with cancer and other chronic terminal diseases.

Earth Center has amassed a terrific amount of support in the community for their endeavors. Senator Tomlinson’s office in Richboro, Congressmen Patrick Murphy, Representative Chris King, the Apgar Black Foundation, The Delaware Valley Legacy Fund and an ever-growing list of local businesses, educators, and other arts organizations have joined together in support of the Earth Center. I join my fellow citizens in this support and expect great things from Earth Center for the Arts in the future.

As governor, and on behalf of all Pennsylvanians, I congratulate and commend the Earth Center for the Arts staff and volunteers and everyone who has supported this institution. Best wishes for continued success in the years ahead.

Edward G. Rendell
Governor
