​Founded in July 2000 as a 501(c)(3) corporation; the Fine Arts Foundation of the Westby Area mission is to support artistic excellence for the City of Westby as well as Coon Valley, Chaseburg Viroqua and other Driftless communities. Shortly thereafter, FAFWA partnered with the Westby Area Schools with the objective of building a 498 seat auditorium/performing arts center and sustaining endowment fund.

FAFWA boasts that 100% of its Board Members contribute financially to the foundation. Alumni of the Westby Area Schools, community members and business leaders are major contributors.
