History
MISSION
| The mission of the Wilson and Carol Trueblood Performing Arts Center is to provide and maintain a public facility in which creativity may flourish and to encourage public participation and entertainment for the residents and visitors of Washington Island. |
For over a century,Washington Island residents and visitors have attended plays, concerts and meetings in gymnasiums, restaurants, halls, barns and churches. Now, with the addition of the Wilson and Carol Trueblood Performing Arts Center, Island organizations can host first-class performances in a comfortable, heated and air-conditioned facility befitting the diverse talents that reside in the Washington Island community.
| Groundbreaking ceremonies took place during the summer of 2003 with members of the Trueblood and Richter families participating, along with other Island officials and dignitaries. |  |
 |
The 273 seat facility was designed to be constructed in sequential phases. The first phase was completed in 2004, giving the Island a large, comfortable venue to host a variety of performances and events. |
| Today, thanks to the generous dedication of donors, volunteers, community leaders and boardmembers, the TPAC has become a vital asset to the Washington Island community. |  |
