HISTORY

 

The Piqua Fine Arts Association was formed in 1969 with the purpose to promote the intellectual and cultural well being of the community and, in particular, of the children.  The Association has sponsored a variety of concerts.  The evening presentations have been preceded by free concerts for the school children.  The Association has raised money to purchase an organ for the high school, and as of this year, 1993, has sponsored an art show and presented concerts in the park.  It is a very good addition to the community.
