Welcome to Oakwood Arts Bridge!

Oakwood Arts Bridge is a volunteer group dedicated to supporting the performing and visual arts in Oakwood Schools. We provide a broad overview of the current arts offerings and opportunities for our students K-12, as well as a link to the community for arts events beyond our school district. We also raise funds to support grant requests from our arts teachers and provide volunteer support where needed. We support the following areas of study at Oakwood Schools:

• Band
• Chorus
• Orchestra
• Speech and Debate
• Theatre and Drama
• Visual Arts
• Creative Writing
• Media Production

Our annual Young@Art event is a celebration of performing and visual arts across the entire school district, and funds raised from this event go right back into supporting arts programs. Don't miss Young@ Art this year on Saturday, March 16, 2019! It promises to be a night filled with awe-inspiring visual art plus a variety of performances to showcase our student musicians, thespians, and speech and debaters.

Please contact us if you are an Oakwood community member and would like to become involved in the Oakwood Arts Bridge. To stay up to date with our activities, follow us on Facebook.

Oakwood Arts Bridge is a component fund of The Dayton Foundation. Donations go directly to our grants fund, which supports Oakwood Schools K-12 teacher grant requests. If you are interested in giving a donation, please follow this link to The Dayton Foundation.
