What is the Occidental Center for the Arts?

It is a community center for the arts and a forum for ideas.
It is a place where you can meet neighbors, view art, hear music, see movies and watch a theatrical performance as well as hear a lecture, listen to a reading, or join a workshop.
It will be a place to appreciate the collective creative genius of the Occidental Community Choir and to attend the concerts of the Redwood Arts Council.
It is a physical space consisting of a multipurpose room, classroom and amphitheatre which were generously donated by Orrin and Terri Theissen in 2003 as they made plans for the development of Harmony Village.
