The Pomerene
A Community Center for the Arts
Our Mission and Beliefs
With the belief that the arts are an integral expression of our humanity and that the creative process is at the core of human advancement and knowledge, the Pomerene Center for the Arts promotes community involvement in the arts.
As creators, performers, and audience members, we believe a community can find new ways of coming together …new opportunities to imagine and create a vision for the future…new ways to appreciate our shared cultural heritage as well as our diversity.
About the photo
from left to right 4/08: Opportunity School students Zac Mills, Louie Stevenson, Chase Wilson, Tara Cochran, Derek Lindell, Josh Starr and (not pictured) Joey Florian, Kenny Napier & Josh Vestal, worked with artists Steven Brown & Anne Cornell to design and paint the garage wall on the alley behind the old Park Hotel lot in the center of downtown Coshocton.
When writing about the project, Napier wrote, "We're not just bringing [people's] attention here for a pretty picture. We're doing it to get their attention to the lot and have the art explain why we got their attention. "
The Opportunity School is an e-based community school. The Pomerene Center has run a for-credit media arts program with the school annually since it opened in 2001. Pictured to the right, is flimmaker Jack Walker who worked with Cornell, Brown and the students.
