Help Us Grow Our Vision

The city of Ottawa looks ahead to a thriving future in the Starved Rock area as a magnet for economic, educational, and recreational development. The Ottawa Center for the Arts plans to establish and enrich Ottawa’s standing as a center for arts, education, and entertainment.

Beside facility upgrades and maintenance, the Ottawa Center for the Arts will offer an attractive mix of performances, displays and presentations, large and small.

 

We anticipate that theatrical, concert, recital, documentaries, workshops, speakers, and café performances, exposing all manner of art, will fit well with the venue size and community interest. Lecture, film, storytelling, and organ recital series will also be offered.


We expect to make the most of our proximity to Chicago and arts organizations within the Starved
Rock area.
