The Ojai Art Center (OAC) has eight branches -- each offering their featured performances and events -- and hosts a series of classes and special events such as Art in the Park and Jammin' at the AC.
Our mission, since we opened our doors in 1939, has been to support and advance the interest of the arts within our community.
Please feel free to come down and enjoy all we have to offer. We encourage you to consider becoming a member which will bring you the satisfaction of supporting the arts on a local level as well as providing you discounts on theatre productions, discounts on activity fees, art purchases, events and our monthly newsletter.
