The Rosewood Arts Center in Kettering is getting a major gift from a well-known Fairmont High School grad.
Nancy Cartwright, best known as the voice of Bart Simpson on The Simpsons, will donate $100,000 to the center’s Reinvention and Renovation campaign.
"I am thrilled and deeply honored to contribute to this incredible art facility,” Cartwright said in a statement. “I truly believe that the expansion and survival of our culture depend on our unwavering support for both art and artists. The Rosewood Arts Center stands as a beacon for bringing hope and inspiring greatness in others."
The name of the Emmy Award-winning voice actor and artist will adorn the center’s newly dedicated "The Nancy Cartwright Painting and Drawing Studio.”
The Rosewood’s renovation also includes a new theater, printmaking studio, an expanded ceramics studio, and a refurbished dance studio.
