Topia Arts Center is the new arts and education center in development in the northern Berkshires. An economic revitalization project for the charming New England Town of Adams, Topia Arts Center is a nonprofit organization with sister support for-profit businesses - Cafe Topia and Topia Inn. With this hybrid model, the Topia Project can fulfill its main artistic mission through Topia Arts Center, Inc. with tax-deductible support from the community and foundations, and guidance and oversight from the Topia Arts Center Board of Directors, while still being a responsible tax-paying citizen through Topia Arts LLC's Cafe Topia and Topia Inn. Topia Arts LLC was able to provide site control needed for grant writing for the Arts Center building and secure funds to renovate the Cafe and Inn spaces right away through business loans for the for-profit activities that support the Arts Center's audiences, visitors, artists and students and help to create the destination Topia. Artists themselves, Nana and Caryn founded and run the businesses themselves because they know that under their wing, art will always be served first and foremost and the creative, welcoming, high quality atmosphere that is Topia will be consistent throughout.
