About The Golda Circle Art House

Since the early days of Carefree, artists dreamt of ways to alleviate the space crunch for art activities in the clubhouse.

The art room came outfitted with a kiln and potters wheel, but cleaning up the clay for “clean” art classes was next to impossible. Arts needed more space and expanding the clubhouse was not a viable option. 

In 2007, a group of Carefree art supporters listened to a new idea: The owners of G-92 would donate half of their house if others contributed the rest of the money to buy it. Within minutes, generous donors pledged the remaining funds — and Golda Circle Art House was launched!  

Art and other activities blossomed while small, medium, and large donations from Carefree women flowed to help pay ongoing expenses. 

When the lot next door went up for sale in 2012, Art House’s Advisory Council voted to buy it — if funds could be raised. During the fundraiser, Nora Peverly offered a challenge: Raise the money to purchase the lot that day, and she would donate a building. Carefree women stepped up again with donations large and small. The lot was purchased and Art House North opened in 2013. 

Thanks to the generosity of Carefree women’s countless contributions, the Art Houses are owned free of debts and mortgages.
