Connected Community.
Our Mission
We seek to promote a supportive and connected community by bringing people together over classes and programs in The Arts and Culture, and that pertain to relevant community needs of today, making these accessible and affordable to the underserved greater LeRoy area.
The only Arts & Culture Center in Osceola County, we are the opportunity for many to experience The Arts and other cultures. We’re committed to broadening access to arts, culture and community programs, stimulating and inspiring achievement and life success.
Vision
To foster a unified and vibrant community through accessible arts, cultural and community programs that enrich, inspire, empower and unite diverse voices.
Our Staff and Board
Led and operated entirely by volunteers, we’re a like-minded team from the greater LeRoy area, invested in serving the community by constantly striving to push the envelope in fulfilling the mission of Dewings Center with programs and events of a high caliber. We also hold dear our history and are passionate about maintaining, preserving and promoting this historic building.
Our leadership is a volunteer board of elected Officers (President, Secretary and Treasurer) and Directors (general voting members). Our board members raise families, work day jobs, run family businesses and fulfill volunteer staff roles. For instance, our President also takes care of building maintenance and janitorial duties (yes, that means our President cleans toilets!).
Connected
Dewings Center welcomes all who are interested in The Arts, Culture and our Community.
Just as we warmly welcome the participation of people of all faiths, cultures, genders, abilities, and ethnic identities, we also reject the misrepresentation and misuse of art, culture, and symbols to support bullying, racist rhetoric, bigotry, and the ahistorical concept of ethnically pure cultures. Through our events and programs, we invite everyone to experience The Arts, discover the richness of other cultures, learn about new skills and hobbies, and find a sense of belonging and connection.
Dewings Center is your local Rental, Event, and Arts, Culture & Community Center in LeRoy, offering spaces to rent for private functions (weddings, parties, churches, meetings, etc), and producing community events in support of the arts and cultural and social enrichment.
We are your neighbors, and we hope to see you at an event,
or have the honor of renting our spaces to you for your own event or gathering!
