Ovation Arts, in keeping with its mission, is dedicated “….to promote the performing arts by giving local artists, both amateur and professional, an outlet and a voice for their talents and gifts.” As long as there have been concerts, plays, and musicals in this area, artists have been searching for the best place to present their performances. There really is not a suitable place nearby for many of these shows and concerts. That will be changing in the near future.

The Ovation Arts Board of Directors has resolved to build a Performing Arts Center in an artist-friendly, aesthetic space in Huntsville and in close proximity to Madison and Monrovia. This center will bring the performing arts to a community that has grown by leaps and bounds and is ready to embrace the talent that is so abundant here.

Companies and individuals who would like to help support this exciting new endeavor can contribute in many different ways, including sponsoring specific areas of the Center or making a gift in honor or in memory of a loved one. A Wall of Honor will showcase those in the community who have stepped up to make the Ovation Performing Arts Center possible. Because Ovation Arts is a non-profit organization under section 501(c)3 of the IRS code, your contributions are tax deductible.

Ovation Arts is planning a 36,000 square foot Performing Arts Center including a Theater; Music, Dance, and Art Studios; and much more. This will be a place where area musicians, artists, dancers, actors, and anyone interested in the fine and performing arts can find a home.
