The Cultural Arts League Center Pieces, A Cookbook from the Cultural Arts League Soon after the Center for Cultural Arts opened in 1990, it became clear that volunteers were needed to help the staff fulfill the dream of creating more than just a building in which art is shown and lessons are taught. Receptions have to be given for exhibit openings.
Docents have to be coordinated for the children's museum.
Each year, funds have to be raised to keep the doors open. In 1996, the Cultural Arts League was formed. The purpose of the League is to support the Center for Cultural Arts by holding fundraisers, encouraging others to join the Center, serving as official hostesses for the Center and providing cultural enrichment. Each year, the League hosts numerous exhibit openings held in honor of the artists. They sponsor fundraisers such as the annual auction, and participate in other projects like decorating the Center for Christmas and sponsoring a chair in the Etowah Youth Orchestra.
