Meet Jen Pierce, President of the Board at the Arts Center

Meet Jen Pierce, President of the Board at the Arts Center, one of Fayetteville’s most beloved cultural treasures. Founded in 1963 and moved to its current home in 1975, the Arts Center has been a hub for creativity, education, and community connection for over six decades.

Art, Connection, and Community

A fun fact about Jen — she met her husband while volunteering at the Arts Center. It’s a perfect example of how art not only inspires creativity but also brings people together.

When asked what she loves most about leading this nonprofit, Jen shared that it’s the people — being surrounded by talented, passionate, and collaborative individuals who work together to grow something she deeply cares about.

Local artist Sarah Bradford sums it up perfectly: “We wouldn’t be able to do what we do at the Arts Center without Jen, because she brings such a strong business mind to the table.”

The Heart of the Arts Center

The Arts Center is best known for its art classes, which welcome everyone from beginners to experienced artists. These classes don’t just teach skills — they inspire creativity, build confidence, and foster a sense of community among Fayetteville’s artists and residents.

Why Main Street Fayetteville

Jen and the Arts Center joined Main Street Fayetteville to connect with other local businesses and continue strengthening the creative heartbeat of downtown. The partnership represents a shared vision — one where art, culture, and commerce come together to make Fayetteville thrive.
