Mission Statement
About Us
Wyoming Valley School Cultural Arts Center is a dynamic Frank Lloyd Wright designed building offering exhibits, concerts, camps, workshops, and more.
Frank Lloyd Wright donated his design and two acres of land to the Wyoming Valley School District for the building, built in 1957, in honor of his mother, Anna Lloyd Jones, who taught Froebel kindergarten and instilled in Wright a lifelong love of learning. The school replaced six rural one-room schoolhouses, and opened in 1958 with 46 students in grades 1 through 8.
After consolidating with the River Valley School District, the building was used by the district 4th graders until being closed in 1990. The building then changed hands several times and, for the most part, remained empty.
In August of 2010, Wyoming Valley resident Jeff Jacobsen donated the school to the newly formed nonprofit Wyoming Valley School, Inc. which continues to operate as Wyoming Valley School Cultural Arts Center.
Located just 50 minutes from Madison, and six miles south of Spring Green, Wisconsin, the building contains two large classrooms, an auditorium, an equipped kitchen, an office, and two restrooms.
Now listed on the National and State Registries of Historic Places, the school operates as a 501(c)(3), non-profit corporation. All donations are considered tax deductible.
