New Name, Same Mission: Art Front and Center

As of July 1, 2008 the Lake Oswego Foundation for the Arts will be known under its new name: Arts Council of Lake Oswego. While our goals and mission remain the same, our new name will serve to differentiate us from other Lake Oswego non-profits and arts programs.

The Arts Council of Lake Oswego continues to respond to the needs of the community as an independent 501 (c) 3 status nonprofit through public/private partnership by providing services in the arts, while retaining the ability to increase the scope of arts programming by soliciting private, corporate, and foundation funding.

We invite you to join us in this exciting new chapter of the Arts Council of Lake Oswego! If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please contact Cheryl Brock at 503.675.3738, or via email.

Bringing the Arts and Community Together
The Arts Council of Lake Oswego is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and was formed to ensure a continuation of support for the arts in Lake Oswego.
