"As both a private citizen and the principal of a small private school in our area, I highly value the role of the Arts Center in our community. Having grown up in university towns, as a child I was accustomed to having access to various fine art events and activities. I want the same for my students, but unfortunately at a small school such as ours, we are not able to staff a fine arts department. For this and many other reasons, the Arts Center is of great value to our school and community.
- Cheryl Jacko, Principal of Highland Adventist School.

“The Randolph County Community Arts Center has woven itself into the fabric of our family’s life over the years. From summer camps to after-school art classes, both of my children have blossomed there—nurtured by creativity, fueled by imagination, and inspired by the magic of artistic expression. As an adult, I’ve also found my own creativity within its walls—whether shaping clay in pottery classes or crafting delicate ornaments. There truly is something for everyone. And what makes this place truly special? It’s the dedicated staff, woven seamlessly into our community, who consistently go the extra mile to ignite passion and kindle the flames of creativity in people of all ages."

“The Randolph Arts Center holds a special place in my heart. Through their diverse programs and welcoming environment, I've discovered new mediums, interacted with local Creatives and formed lasting connections with those that appreciate the arts. As Pablo Picasso once said, "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." This quote resonates deeply with me, as the center has been a sanctuary where I can escape the noise of the world and enjoy the many works displayed in it’s numerous exhibitions throughout the year. The Staff is amazingly focused on its core mission of providing both a civic and community hub for open conversation and artistic expression. From amazing art workshops (many for children) to exciting gallery exhibitions, rousing concerts, exhilarating dance programs and monthly recitals, each experience at the Randolph Arts Center has enriched my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. I'm truly grateful for the endless inspiration and support it provides. All this is only possible through the graciousness and kind Patrons that support and enrich the Randolph Arts Center."

"Although I am involved in visual arts, I am aware of the variety of programs offered in music, children’s programs and more. As an artist, I have enjoyed participating in juried arts exhibits. The friendships made, the competition and the encouragement to continue to grow as an artist have been invaluable to me. Most recently I was able to display my paintings in the Maxwell Gallery in the fall of 2023. I had never had a solo exhibit and the Executive Director (Dani Cade) spent a lot of time helping me with everything from using the display system to providing advertising for the exhibit. A wonderful bonus was receiving the Best in Show Award in the Forest Festival Juried Exhibition. The Arts Center can provide generous monetary awards and qualified judges through their association with local businesses. For these reasons, more artists are participating from outside the local area in recent years. I was encouraged to enter my winning painting at the next level of completion online. My painting was awarded second place from five hundred and eighty international entries in the Dakota Pastels Quarterly Contest. It is the most prestigious award I have won and I owe that honor in large part to the Randolph County Arts Center."

"I have always enjoyed working with the Randolph County Arts Center here in Elkins. They have provided a great place for our student body to have Art Shows, Receptions, and a place where students in the elementary levels can get Art Classes provided when there is not Elementary Art in Schools. They welcome all and enjoy everyone's creativity as I have enjoyed teaching classes and taking classes there. I will continue to work with the Randolph County Arts Center now and look forward to teaching more there when I get older and have more free time to create my own works of art!"
-Ashley Richardson, Art Instructor at Elkins High School

"I feel that it’s important to have a place where the community can come together, participate in activities, and create friendships. That’s why I appreciate The Arts Center. It has provided a welcoming space where I can share my passion for all things art. I feel that the arts classroom is an integral part of community bonding which fosters positive community interaction, emotional support, and the exchange of community information. The bonds of friendship developed in the center build a strong, safe, and inclusive community."
