OHNWARD FINE ARTS CENTER

 The Ninth Annual Festival of Trees
Beginning Saturday, November 16, through Tuesday, November 26, 2013

You are invited to a special
“Thank You Open House”, Friday November 1 from 4 PM through 7 PM in the Drew Arts Gallery at the Ohnward Fine Arts Center.  The gallery will be in holiday décor with paintings, jewelry, and many holiday gift items.  If you have not had time to make a tree or wreath for the Festival of Trees fund raiser and would like to be a sponsor, items will be available to purchase.  During the 4 through 7 PM time all Ohnward holiday items will be 10% off their regular price! Enjoy free hors d'oeuvres, and apple cider.


The Ohnward Fine Arts Center is currently planning our ninth Annual Festival of Trees. Last year, we had such a wonderful response to our festival -- with bidding on creative trees and beautiful wreaths, theatre entertainment, Santa, students and adults singing, piano, violin and bell players that we are adding even more activities to the Festival of Trees 2013!  Our goal again this year is to create a holiday atmosphere to be enjoyed by all those attending the many functions that will be held at the Center. The proceeds will go to the Ohnward Fine Arts Center.


In fact during the Festival of Trees make plans to attend “The Second Annual Jackson County Holiday Extravaganza Variety Show” running Saturday, November 23 at 7 PM  and Sunday, November 24 at 2 PM.


Trees and wreaths will be featured at the Fine Arts Center November 16th through November 26th.  The Center will be open Monday thru Friday 9 am to 7 pm and Saturday and Sunday 1 PM to 7 PM.

Also available this year, for the very first time! You can purchase a Holiday Family Gift Pass.  This pass offers you four passes (tickets) to any of our 2014 Ohnward Fine Arts Center productions.  Easy to use and you save money!  Each Holiday Family Gift Pass is just $80.  Simply call 563-652-9815 between 9 AM and 1 PM or just stop into the Ohnward Fine Arts Center at 1215 E. Platt Street in Maquoketa to order yours today!
