We’ve seen parties celebrating birthdays from age one to 90 — showers for babies and brides — even a baptism — grad parties & holiday celebrations & family gatherings — wedding ceremonies & receptions & anniversaries — disco dances & corporate events — retirement parties & reunions & memorial celebrations of life — AND themed fundraisers from a Polka Party to a Downton Abbey Dinner to our own "Octet in October" in the FAC Theater, which also hosted both Dracula and a stand-up comic named Dwayne!Of course, FAC is so much more than an event space. We hosted Candidate Forums, Family Movie Nights, & our Lecture Series — poetry readings, book clubs, & farmers markets — Arts Workshops & Science Projects for Middle School Youth — service club lunches & dinners — donor appreciation evenings & community group meetings — as well as dance lessons and various classes from T’ai Chi to Word Press.FAC originally opened in 1913 to serve the families of Fort Atkinson. After full renovation, the new community center re-opened in January 2015. This Arts and Crafts building, located on the Rock River right downtown, provides citizens and visitors of all ages and backgrounds a place to come together through arts, wellness, and community activities -- to nurture & support the vibrant community and offer many opportunities for others to participate in positive collaboration.
