Construction Phase Overview

Financial Update

Thanks to the generosity of our members—and a remarkable $60,000 donation from Lynn Tagge—WAC has reached the original funding goal needed to begin construction!

Update 8/4/26: As often happens with the renovation of a historic building, demolition revealed years of hidden repairs, structural modifications, and construction issues that needed to be addressed to meet current building codes. While these discoveries required additional work, they have also given us a much clearer picture of the building's needs. Our contractor now has a solid plan in place, and we believe most of the unexpected surprises are behind us.

Although these necessary improvements have increased the cost of the project, we are closer than ever to the finish line. We now need to raise an additional $25,000 to complete the renovation and create the safe, functional, and welcoming Art Center our members deserve.

To help close that gap, we have:

• Applied for grants
• Continued planning Masquerade, our fundraiser in partnership with K-9 Konnection
• Created a project Wish List (see list to the right)
• Identified several desirable upgrades that can be postponed if necessary
• Continued accepting donations from members and supporters
