The 577 Foundation

577 is a nonprofit community arts and nature center situated on the former estate of our founder, Virginia Secor Stranahan.

Open to all, 577 builds a creative, caring community through curiosity and lifelong learning. This enduring passion extends to all facets of 577— from ecological balance and environmental sustainability, to broadening minds, stimulating imagination and expanding horizons.

Virginia Secor Stranahan called 577 her “gift to the community.” Your gift to 577 is a gift to the community too, bringing people together to discover, create, teach, have fun, and be inspired to take care of the environment and each other.

The items on this list include the tools and supplies needed for our community classes in Studio Arts, Fiber Arts, Culinary Arts, Pottery and Horticulture. Thank you for your support!
