Beauty and creativity are a necessity for growth--not just for the individual, but for the community as a whole--and the Art Center aims to help both reach their full potential.

The Wayne Center for the Arts is dedicated to providing a variety of high-quality educational opportunities for students of all ages throughout our community. Of course, you can register and take a class in our building in Downtown Wooster, but we are also active throughout Wayne County and in collaboration with several other local organizations to provide programs that can engage, heal, and inspire.

In 2022 alone, we partnered with AnaZao, Boys & Girls Club of Wooster, Orrville and Rittman, the Counseling Center of Wayne and Holmes County, NAMI of Wayne and Holmes Counties, One-Eighty, The Village Network and the YMCA for afterschool programming, summer camps, and adult classes.

Over 5,000 individuals, who may not have had the opportunity otherwise, experienced the power of art thanks to our Community Outreach Program. By partaking in these classes and workshops, participants gain confidence and find a positive creative outlet. The healing benefits and mindfulness that come from art are truly improving lives.

Investing in the Wayne Center for Arts means you are making a contribution towards the well-being and beauty of Wayne County... not just for the individual, but for a strong community.  Thank you!
