Meet a 2026 Honoree: Linda T. Hubbard Mary Rindfleisch Heart of the Arts Award

Long before it was an organization, the Sherman Artists Association was an idea — and Linda T. Hubbard was the one who made it real. As co-founder, she was instrumental at building a home for artists in Sherman. She spent years in volunteer leadership that nurtured arts and culture in the Sherman area, often working quietly behind the scenes to make sure creative work had a place to happen.

That's exactly what the Heart of the Arts Award exists to recognize, the people whose sustained, personal investment makes everything else possible.

Join us in celebrating Linda on October 9th: cbo.io/app/public/bidapp/cawct

We're not just supporting art that already exists, we're helping build what's next.

Right now we're deep in a feasibility study for a downtown Danbury Arts Hub: a real, physical home for artists and the community to create, connect, and gather. It's still taking shape, and every bit of support helps us keep shaping it.

This August, a $2.50 Community Bag at the Danbury Stop & Shop sends $1 our way — toward projects like this one, and everything else on our plate.

📍 44 Lake Avenue Ext., Danbury | All of August
