The Charles Ives Center for the Arts was founded in 1974 to honor the memory of Danbury native Charles Edward Ives(1874-1954), one of America's greatest music composers, by providing a nationally recognized forum for the performing and creative arts. In 2006, Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton took steps to create a City Authority to preserve and protect the Ives Center's founding fathers' vision. The Charles Ives Authority for the Performing Arts was born. The Ives Authority will continue to produce the highest quality music and other arts related programming at the Ives Concert Park, a unique outdoor amphitheatre situated on a beautiful parcel of preserved, state owned land which includes 40 wooded acres, a pond, breathtaking gardens and public hiking trails.
