Belfast Organization For Artists
A charitable project of SheilaLynnK Art Studio, B.O.F.A. was founded in loving memory of artist, writer, poet, musician, Amanda Nicole Curcio. Established to promote creative unity in the Belfast, NY area, BOFA has been active since 2009 and honored to amplify the work of local creators in our annual art exhibit and at SWAN Days Allegany County, NY (2014-2020).

UPDATE 2023
BOFA has a new logo and is now partnering with the Belvidere Cornerstone, Arts Services Inc. - ASI, and other local creators and organizations to continue the Allegany Arts Association Mission to provide Allegany Arts services and expand equitable access to the arts as AAA closes after forty years of providing service to Allegany County residents.

PROJECT GOALS
Through independent efforts and in collaboration with Belfast groups and clubs we want to: assist artisans to create work and make it available to the public, provide area artisans with links to information and resources, exchange ideas and skills knowledge with area artisans, create new opportunities to show work in the Belfast Area, provide publicity, collaborate with Allegany County Arts organizations, represent Belfast at the County Level, provide enrichment and service opportunities to community members.
This volunteer organization is funded by the private contributions of its founding members, affordable membership fees, and anonymous donations. All funds received are directly applied to the cost of materials, marketing, and local creative projects and events.
