Facts and practical information

The Oakland Center for the Arts is an interdisciplinary arts center based in Youngstown, Ohio founded in 1986. The center was first supported by Youngstown businessman Richard Rosenthal and founded by Youngstown native Alexandra Vansuch, with support from local performers and civic minded individuals, as a community venue for theater, film, music, literature, dance, and the visual arts. The organization took its name from one of Rosenthal's buildings, the former Oakland Motor Car dealership on Mahoning Avenue, where he donated space for the fledgling organization. Rosenthal's early role was honored when the center moved to a new space in the Morley Building and designated a space for art named the Star Gallery after his business Star Supply Company. ()
