2928 West 13th St. Ashtabula, Ohio 44004 phone: 440-964-3396 Search This Site: November/December 2008: Posted: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 Season's Greetings from all of us at the Ashtabula Arts Center!! This year we know that it is an especially tough time we live in. It is tough for our country, our state, our local region - and tough for us as individuals, families, businesses. In my 23 years as Executive Director of the Arts Center, I don't believe we have ever faced such uncertain and unsettling times. We have definitely experienced budget cuts, layoffs and reassessments of resources over the years. Through all challenging times, the Arts Center's family has stuck together and kept going and even growing. The staff of the Arts Center would like to extend its deep gratitude and very sincere thanks to all of you who participate, volunteer, support and open your pockets, hearts, minds and creativity to us here. We are very thankful for each and every one of you. You are truly a part of us and a part of our family. With negativity teeming all around us, we feel very blessed here at the Arts Center to have such positive and supportive friends. We sincerely care about you and your experiences here at the Arts Center. We hope you agree with us that the Arts Center is a small oasis in our challenging world right now. Please let us know if we can do anything to make your Arts Center experience more enriched or rewarding. The Arts Center thanks you so very much. You are why we are here. You make all our efforts worthwhile. From all of us - we wish you the best possible holiday season. Thank you, again.
