Pride in Building Our Community:
The idea for an Arts Center in Douglas County first surfaced in 2000. The campaign to fund it began in earnest in 2004 when the Carson Valley Arts Council was formed. Plans evolved with community input, and in 2008, the old Copeland Lumber building, a historic landmark in Minden, was purchased.
