Historical Note
The Charlottesville/Albemarle Foundation for the Encouragement of the Arts was established by Marion Nolan (1933-2011) in 1976, where she served as the Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board. The mission of the independent nonprofit tax-exempt organization was to "enrich the cultural life of the entire community, to provide programs in the city and county school systems, to enhance the core curriculum and to encourage and develop future performing artists and enthusiasts." She retired from CHALFA in 1996. She attended George Washington University, majoring in history, and was married to University of Virginia professor, Stan Nolan.
