Who We Are:
"The Arts for Everyone, Everyone for the Arts!" The Perrysburg Area Arts Council (PAAC) is a group who firmly believe that the arts are the heart of a good community. PAAC was organized in 1989 as a nonprofit corporation operating under the laws of the State of Ohio. It is funded by tax deductible donations from individuals and business sponsors, the City of Perrysburg, Perrysburg Township, corporate sponsors including Owens-Illinois, Entelco, Key Bank, and other community-minded businesses.
The Perrysburg Area Arts Council is recognized as the official arts organization for both the City of Perrysburg and Perrysburg Township. We receive support from the Ohio Arts Council.
