Confluence Creative Arts Center is gaining recognition in the area. It was recently suggested by the Confluence Tourism Association to nominate Jody and Jay Best of the Creative Arts Center for the Outstanding Person of the Year award from the Somerset County Chamber of Commerce. Several large donations were made to the Creative Arts Center and this has help support the painting of telephone poles by the Creative Arts Center and Turkeyfoot High School showing more support for Trail Town Art.
