Your Donation = Community Investment
OffCenter is a community arts center in every sense: we’re here to serve our community, celebrate creativity in our community, and we exist only because of the support of our community. Whether you can donate $5 or $5,000, your support is needed, appreciated, and impactful.

With your help, OffCenter continues to support and celebrate people of all backgrounds, ages and abilities, young students and lifelong learners, families with special needs, artists and performers. It’s easy and quick to donate online! Donate today!

OffCenter studio artist:
“I’m growing in here and changing, finding other talents I never knew I had. Day one they took me in and ever since it’s felt like home.”
OffCenter studio artist:
“I began coming to OC after my husband died. I needed to get out of the house and be with other people. From the minute I walked in the door I felt welcomed. Being at OC and interacting with ALL kinds of people helps me to keep a more balanced perspective on my own like. OC helps me heal every day.”
“The writing group has shown me a skill I didn’t know I had.”
“I enjoy coming here- it relaxes me a lot and I like to make pretty things.”
