The Churchill Arts Council enriches the cultural and social life of our community and region by providing educational and experiential opportunities in the arts on a variety of levels: a performing arts series, visual art exhibitions, film programs, literary readings, and conversations with contemporary artists in all disciplines. Through innovative programming, we serve as cultural resource for the region, providing vision, leadership, information, support, education and enjoyment of a diversity of art experiences.

The Oats Park Art Center is an adaptive re-use of the historic Frederick J. DeLongchamps school building in Fallon, Nevada. The theatre portion of the facility opened in February, 2003 and the visual art galleries were completed in Spring, 2006.

Visual art exhibitions began in 1987 using a variety of venues from the Churchill County Library to Western Nevada College and in 2006 programming moved into the gallery spaces at the Art Center. While we believe that there's no substitute for encountering artworks in a physical exhibition, we're also interested in bringing the artists' work to the attention of a wider audience and began this series of online/print-on-demand catalogs in 2009. We'd like to especially thank the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for their support of our endeavors.

Major support for this catalog series and the Churchill Arts Council's visual arts programming has been provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Additional support has been provided by the Bretzlaff Foundation, the E.L. Cord Foundation, the Fallon Convention & Tourism Authority, Systems Consultants, the Nevada Commission on Tourism, US Bancorp Foundation, Nevada Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Support for acquisition of technology to implement this project was provided by the Community Foundation of Western Nevada.
