Santiam Artists Connection
Santiam Hearts to Arts is a 501(c)3 non-profit that serves the Santiam Canyon and is based in Mill City, Oregon. Our mission is to preserve, present and promote the fine and performing arts in the Santiam Canyon. We accomplish this by educating, informing and involving our diverse community. We strive to enrich the lifestyle of the Santiam Canyon through the unified effort to preserve and perpetuate a diversity of cultural endeavors.
SH2A has three main focuses:
-
KYAC 90.1FM community radio based in Mill City and serving much of the Santiam Canyon
-
Santiam Canyon Community Chorus with 25 members who live throughout the canyon promoting Peace, Harmony and Tolerance of all cultures
-
Promoting arts, music and cultural education
Santiam Hearts to Arts was honored by the North Santiam Chamber of Commerce as 2016 NON-PROFIT OF THE YEAR.
Santiam Hearts to Arts' home base is located in Stewart's Hall, which they, with the help of many volunteers, donations and grant money, renovated to house the radio station, hold meetings, hold weekly chorus practice and serve the community.
Stewart's Hall, is owned by the Odd Fellows. Santiam Hearts to Arts leased the building, and began renovating the first floor and outside of the building. The board holds meetings the third Wednesday of the month at 6pm.
Gleaners operates out of the back of the building, helping those in need of extra food.
