Current Campaign Progress
Help us reach our first milestone: $3,000 to paint six classrooms
The Historic Larimer Arts Center
A treasured landmark in Palatka, Florida, serving our community since 1927
This beautiful Art Deco building has been home to countless performances, exhibitions, and art classes over nearly a century. Today, it needs our help to continue serving future generations.
Our Story
For decades, the historic Larimer Arts Center has been the heart of our community's creative life. Located at 216 Reid Street in the center of Palatka, this beautiful building has been a home for artists, a classroom for students, and a stage for performers.
Today, our beloved Larimer is in desperate need of our help. As a historic building, it requires constant care and attention. While the Arts Alliance of Putnam County, along with our partners the River City Players and the Gathering Artists of Putnam, are working tirelessly to bring new life and energy to the Larimer, we can't do it alone.
One of the most pressing issues is the lack of accessibility to our second-floor theater. Many members of our community, including those with mobility challenges, are unable to enjoy the wonderful performances and events that take place there. This is something we are determined to change.
The Immediate Need
We want to start with a simple, achievable goal that will have an immediate and visible impact
Transform Six Art Classrooms
Our first step is to raise $3,000 to paint six of our art classrooms. These are the rooms where our children learn to express themselves, where our local artists create their masterpieces, and where our community comes together to learn and grow. A fresh coat of paint will transform these spaces, creating a brighter, more inspiring environment for everyone.
