Great opportunity to support a local treasure!

🎭 Did You Know You Can Sponsor a Show at CPAC?

Every production that takes the CPAC stage takes a lot to bring to life — from costumes and sets to props, licensing, technical needs, and more.

One way local businesses, organizations, and individuals can help support live theatre in our community is by becoming a Show Sponsor!

And you don't have to wait for a specific production. We are always looking for community partners interested in sponsoring future CPAC shows.

Show sponsorship is a great opportunity to support the arts, help make our productions possible, and have your business or organization recognized as part of the show.

🎭 Interested in sponsoring an upcoming CPAC production?
Email us a [email protected]! We'd be happy to talk with you about upcoming shows and sponsorship opportunities.

Help us keep the curtain rising at CPAC! ❤️

East-Central Ohio is home to many talented young artists, and we are fortunate that Muskingum University is featuring a number of schools this month in the Louis O. Palmer Gallery. Students from East Muskingum, Indian Valley, River View, West Muskingum, and Zanesville City are featured in this wonderful exhibit as well as selections from international artists.

The exhibit will be open special hours Sunday October 18 from 10:30 a.m. - 2 p.m. for those who would like to view the work. The Palmer Gallery is open Monday - Thursday from 3 p.m. - 5 p.m. or by appointment.

For those not familiar with the Muskingum campus, the Palmer Gallery is the brick building to the right of Walter Hall and behind Paul Hall.

It's never too early to start planning the 2027 Salt Fork Arts and Crafts Festival! We would love to add some volunteers to our merry crew. The festival is a year-round event, and there are a lot of different ways to get involved. An hour or two a month can make a big impact on this community tradition.
