O’Hanlon Center for the Arts provides an environment and spaces
where creativity and community can develop, expand and flourish

Update Dec 1 2020:
Happy Holidays!

From the Board and Staff

Dear O’Hanlon Community:

As 2020 draws to a close and we reflect on this past year, one thing stands out: Our O’Hanlon Community. The O’Hanlon Community is here and it is thriving, growing and transforming while still staying true to our mission. Thank you for your continued support!

Despite being closed to the public, our community is still very active.  We’ve seen you online through our various programs and gallery shows. We’ve seen you at our center creating and innovating in our temporary studios. And we’ve seen you volunteering through our committees tackling many much needed repairs and addressing fire safety concerns on the property.

The engaged and committed community involvement and interest in our growing online shows, just proves that art creation and exhibition is a valuable and needed outlet for many.

While 2020 did not turn out as intended, the O’Hanlon community has demonstrated its resilience and ingenuity in many surprising and wonderful ways. And we hope to continue and expand on that in 2021.

Looking forward to 2021, here are some key updates to take note of:

  • Our 2020-21 Member show is goes live online on Dec 15 with a Zoom roundtable at 4pm. The MEMBER Meeting is January 25, 2021 also through Zoom.

     

  • The O’Hanlon Exhibitions committee has determined the slate of online and in gallery shows. You can find the link here:
  • If you’d like to get more involved with O’Hanlon Center for the Arts please contact Erma or Ellen to ask about joining, volunteering or serving on one of our committees.

We again, thank you, our community for making this year the best we could’ve hoped for. 

With much gratitude and heartfelt holiday greetings,

 

Naomi Tamura, Board President
Erma & Ellen and the entire OHCA Board of Directors.
