history of the wayne center

Wayne Center for the Arts has been offering culturally stimulating arts experiences to Wayne County residents for over 31 years. The center, formerly known as the Wooster Arts Center, was founded in 1973 on the campus of  The College of Wooster. In 1984, through a gift from the Rubbermaid Foundation and with the support of the community, the Arts Center was able to move into the newly renovated Walnut Street School at 237 South Walnut Street, Wooster.

Since its beginning in 1973, the center has continued to grow offering numerous activities throughout the year including classes, special events, performances and exhibits. In June of 1999, The Rubbermaid Foundation donated the Walnut Street building to Wayne Center for the Arts assuring the community that a cultural arts center would continue to thrive in the downtown Wooster area.
