May Highlights

A MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
As the semester and our Spring 2022 season draw to a close this month, we have some wonderful performances remaining. I am particularly excited about Squonk, a great free community event happening this weekend right outside the arts center. Speaking of community, I want to thank you for the contributions made to Zoellner Arts Center on Giving Day last week. Thanks to your generosity, the center received almost $15,000 from 66 donors. The impact we can make is strengthened by your incredible support.
With Gratitude, Mark Fitzgerald Wilson
