Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial supports arts in Darke County

Recently the Darke County Center for the Arts and the Anna Bier Gallery were named as recipients of funds from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial Fund. According to Dianna Wagner, President of the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, “We are privileged to have both organizations as they benefit many people in Darke County. “

The generous support from the Stephens Memorial Fund has contributed greatly to the arts organizations’ ability to continue bringing high quality artists to the community,” stated DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. The Stephens Memorial helps underwrite all DCCA programs – Artists Series and Special Events which brings world class artists to St. Clair Memorial Hall; Family Theatre Series which presents at a very reasonable ticket price theatrical productions based on classic children’s literature; Coffee House Series which takes patrons to smaller venues throughout the county for a more intimate arts experience; and Arts In Education which takes artists to the audience, presenting performances to all grade levels in each local school district.

According to Jordan, “We are very fortunate to be in a community that values the arts, and are sincerely thankful for the generosity of the Harry D. Stephens Memorial Fund and its commitment to enhancing the quality of life in our community through the arts.”

DCCA presents and promotes performing and fine arts, encouraging cultural enrichment in the community; and is committed to the preservation of Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall as an important cultural center.

Roots are synonymous with origins, foundation, sources, and heritage. Wings take flight, ascend, and soar. Both words, though simple, have profound implications and they provide the theme for Darke County Center for the Arts 2014-2015 Artists Series season - “Music gives us roots and wings.” The idea for roots and wings came from the discovery that next season's performances feature artists whose talents spring from deep cultural roots in traditional music forms and take flight from that heritage.

For more information about DCCA and the 2014-2015 Roots & Wings season, contact Andrea Jordan at 547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net or visit the DCCA website at www.centerforarts.net.
