Making a Difference in the Community

Each season the Performing Arts Series brings world renown artists directly to Talawanda schools, Miami students, Oxford and the surrounding communities. Individual donations and proceeds from the Wine Tasting are used to fund outreach activities such as workshops, master classes, coffee houses and discussions the visiting professional artists appearing on the Series provide at no cost to the participants. We are proud to offer these unique, free, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for the community.

We could not provide these valuable services to our campus and community without your support.
