Thousand Islands Arts Center Unveils “Step up for the Arts” Paver Initiative

CLAYTON – The Thousand Islands Arts Center ~ Home of the Handweaving Museum (the Arts
Center) is launching its “Step Up for the Arts” Paver Initiative, inviting the community to cement
their legacy within the new Arts Center campus. This unique opportunity, part of the ongoing
Campus Capital Campaign, runs from now through Sept. 1, 2025.

Community members, fans, and sponsors are invited to purchase commemorative pavers to
form beautiful, permanent walkways surrounding the new James Street building. Each engraved
paver offers a chance to honor connections to the Arts Center, paving the way for the future of
arts and education in the Thousand Islands region.

“This is a wonderful way for visitors, partners, and families to honor loved ones, while directly
ensuring the magic of the arts remains accessible to our entire region,” explained Sarah
Riddoch, the Arts Center’s Executive Director.

Available in three sizes and starting at $750 (12″x12″ inscribed with a choice of sentiment or
name), these custom pavers will be installed before the new Arts Center’s Grand Opening in
2026. Each purchase directly supports vital improvements and the continued expansion of the
Arts Center programming.

Pavers will be available for purchase on a first-come, first-served basis and will be available
while supplies last or through September 1. The pavers will be installed before the Grand
Opening of the new Arts Center, scheduled for 2026!

Step up for the Arts! Purchase a paver today and leave a lasting mark on the heart of Clayton’s
vibrant arts community. Visit TIArtsCenter.org/pavers to secure a paver and learn more.
