When we think far ahead into the future, and realize that the time we have here has a limited expectancy, we sometimes wish we could still continue to participate in the care and support of those people and institutions which we have cared for and supported in life.

The Owatonna Arts Center Foundation has established a permanent fund within the Minnesota Foundation. This fund will continue to sustain our Arts Center so that it may carry on its mission forever.

A committed volunteer Board of Trustees makes the Owatonna Arts Center Foundation an organization that will be passed on through coming generations to ensure that your goals of caring and sharing will be attained.

OACF Board of Trustees:
John Hylle - Chair, Gwen Buscho, Gregg Draeger, Tim McManimon, Mark Sebring

The Owatonna Arts Center was founded as a 501(c)3 corporation in 1974, under the direction of Mary Leach, with artistic flair being supplied by Marianne Young. Members, businesses, and volunteers all contributed their time and donations to the cause.

Our mission is to "enrich the Owatonna area by engaging the people in meaningful artistic experiences in a unique environment that fosters a sense of community.

OAC Board of Directors:
Steve Grubish - President, Ed Brown, Joan Herzog, Kent Kienholz, Sheila Meixner, Jane Middlestadt, Scott Roberts, Sue Tuma
