The Old Jail Art Center (OJAC) is based in a rural community with a population of 2,000. Our exhibitions and education programs serve a 25-county area which surrounds Albany. The OJAC's overall aim is to serve as an educational and cultural center focused on the visual arts through collections, exhibitions, interpretation, programs and regional history resources to enhance the education of our audience. The OJAC's yearly schedule includes four or five temporary exhibitions, rotation selections from the permanent collection, guided tours, public lectures, special events, a developed and active docent program, and ongoing art education programs for children, teenagers, and adults.
