Main Street Arts

Main Street Arts was founded in 1988 by Mary Hepburn, a local arts teacher, and Karen Lanterman, a local dance instructor. After purchasing the building from the local Odd Fellows and armed with a lot of vision, they set to work turning a dark, time-worn space into the bright, inviting place it is today. Along the way, they were helped by many in the community who were excited about the idea of bringing dance, music, art and other creative activities to the village. In 1996, the Main Street Arts Board of Directors purchased the building, making MSA the true community arts center it is today.
