Economic Development

OFFCenter enhances the efforts of low-income artists who want to use their skills to generate financial support for themselves. The studio/shop/gallery environment provides many opportunities for artists to improve their skills and gain experience in areas that will help them promote and sell their art work. Group workshops and individualized training are available.

  • 86 OFFCenter artists are represented in the OC shop.


  • At least 20 OC artists sell their work in other public galleries.


  • OFFCenter has expanded its sales opportunities to include the OC shop and gallery, the growers market, crafts fairs and privately commissioned work.


  • In addition to the focus on economic development for individual artists, OFFCenter is working to expand income producing projects to benefit the organization.
