Community Engagement and Education

At OPAC, we also believe in the transformative power of education. Our camps and school shows are designed to encourage the creativity and artistic expression of young minds. These programs cater to a variety of age groups, ensuring that budding artists have the opportunity to learn and grow.

Building a Lasting Legacy

By breaking down financial barriers, we empower individuals and families to explore their creativity, share experiences and appreciate the rich tapestry of the arts. We see the impact of our efforts when families share stories of their first theater experiences, igniting their love for the arts that can last a lifetime.

Oxford Performing Arts Center is dedicated to making art accessible to all. Together, let’s create a vibrant culture where everyone can experience the joy and transformation that art brings!
