Since its founding in 1974, BucksArts has grown its membership and strengthened its presence throughout the community. In 2021, the Board formalized its partnership with Freeman Hall on East Court Street in Doylestown, building on a collaboration that began with a 2018 Cinco de Mayo event and continued through a connection between Bruce Rutherford and then-Board President Ruth Anderson. Bruce’s passion for the arts and historic preservation continues to inspire the Council’s work at Freeman Hall.

Through the Community Meeting Center at Freeman Hall, BucksArts will host exhibitions and public programs in more than 1,500 square feet of well-lit, gallery-style space. The venue will expand opportunities for exhibitions and sales, performances, workshops, community collaborations, and public forums while increasing awareness of local and regional arts.

BucksArts will continue partnering with businesses, cultural organizations, museums, and artists to build a more connected and diverse arts community throughout Bucks County.

Ricciardi Brothers Benjamin Moore Paint Store in Doylestown and The Leff Family Foundation supported the Council’s early initiatives at Freeman Hall. BucksArts is grateful to both organizations for their commitment to enriching the arts and strengthening our community.

Leff Family Foundation continues to advance the arts in the area by supporting the Council’s early initiatives at Freeman Hall. We are appreciative of their commitment to enriching the arts and promoting our mission throughout the Bucks County community.
