Our Art Community
Artsbridge Collaborates with area artists and organizations, reaching more schools, more community members, and more resources.
We are blown away by the outpouring of support and the way our community continues to show up for not only Artsbridge, but for art and artists in our area as a whole. Emily’s exhibit opening was fantastic and we are honored to get to work with her and show her pieces to the Mid-Ohio Valley.
In her genuinely kind and giving nature, Emily is donating all proceeds from the sales of her paintings to Artsbridge as we are in our Fall Fund Drive season. We couldn’t be more grateful and we will continue our mission to Educate, Entertain, and Enrich those we serve. We believe that art should be accessible to all.
Thank you to Emily, her family, and everyone who came out to support tonight. And a big thank you to our sponsors, WVU Medicine and Peoples Bank who are strong businesses in our community and are always supporting and giving back! Amazing! 🤩 ... See MoreSee Less

Senior Arts Highlights:
Did you know? Artsbridge sponsors local Senior Arts activities and classes!
"The success of these events is reflected in the high attendance numbers and the visible enthusiasm and pride of the artists. Many participants expressed interest in future art experiences. The support from Artsbridge and the Marie Ausenheimer Senior Art Fund was invaluable to the participants, instructors, and the Parkersburg Art Center." --Jessie Siefert, PAC's Managing Director.
The Marie Ausenheimer Memorial, which was established by the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation from the estate of Marie Ausenheimer, was created to support charitable projects related to the arts that broadly support the interest of the Mid-Ohio Valley area seniors. Artsbridge works with local arts organizations to invite to support arts programming specifically designed for seniors.
