Support the Ohnward Fine Arts Center

Listed among the major assets of any community are the educational facilities, health systems, religious institutions, police and fire protection, financial institutions and finally, access to the arts. Our community is fortunate to be so generously endowed with all of the above. With the addition of the Ohnward Fine Arts Center in December of 2004, our community now has easy access to a wide variety of arts and entertainment.

Ohnward Fine Arts Center is a non-profit organization. We receive no funding from the city of Maquoketa from tax dollars. We rely on the generous donations of our business partners and patrons to meet many of our expenses. As a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations to Ohnward are tax-deductible. We are deeply grateful to all those who have given so generously in the past, strengthening Ohnward and ensuring its vitality in this wonderful community.
