This premier Founder’s Appreciation Evening celebrates the legacy of the people who positioned the Plymouth Arts Center as a vital part of the greater Plymouth community and as one of Wisconsin’s finest arts centers. While nourishing the arts and the soul of our community, they placed the PAC in the public eye by showcasing Wisconsin artists in Gallery 110 North, and initiated fundraising efforts and community outreach. Donna Hahn, Executive Director said, “The Plymouth Arts Center is pleased to recognize its most treasured friends and the many individuals and businesses who have contributed to the organization’s past success and its bright future.”

The Plymouth Arts Center is a 501c3 Charitable Non-Profit Organization membership organization dedicated to its mission of enriching the lives of the community by providing diverse experiences in the arts. Membership dues, fund-raising events, sponsorships, grants and private and corporate donations, solely support the organization. From its modest beginnings in 1993, the Plymouth Arts Center has grown to over 500 members and 300 volunteers who serve as board and committee members, directors, artists, teachers, docents, musicians, singers, actors, and general helpers.

We invite the public to join in this celebration of our history, our strengths and our promise for the future. For More Information or to order tickets: Call the Plymouth Arts Center, 920-892-8409 or email paf@excel.net
