  • West Falls Center for the Arts Receives East Aurora Music Hall of Fame Award

    Non-profit arts venue West Falls Center for the Arts has been inducted into the East Aurora Music Hall of Fame, becoming the first inductee under the Foundations of Music category. 

    Acting as a central part of West Falls’ art scene and community at large, the West Falls Center for the Arts has been providing the folks of the area music education and entertainment since 2009. A true community effort, the Center has grown from a small piano lesson studio for children before school to a space boasting a stage for weekend concerts and community programs, all through generous donations and the effort of countless volunteers.

    Now offering the same weekend concerts they began with in addition to free music lessons for veterans, Musical Memories Cafe for caregivers and their loved ones with dementia, the mentorship-style Kids Music Jam, Southtown’s Youth Jazz Orchestra, Community Thanksgiving, masterclasses and music clinics, and musical therapy for young adults with autism. 

    Since its founding days the West Falls Center for the Arts has been giving to the community and asking nothing in return, but has always received an outpouring of love nevertheless. This giving spirit is what earned the Center their title as the first inductee of their kind to the East Aurora Music Hall of Fame, a title they hold with pride- a promise to continue fostering musical community and care.
