Founded in 1984 with a mission to promote community involvement in the arts and preserve the Greek Revival mansion in which it is housed, the Pomerene Center began operating with a strong neighborhood coalition and a few dedicated volunteers.
Throughout our years of operation the Center has been renovated to provide 4 formal exhibition galleries, the tented Saba Terrace that opens onto the spacious lawn & garden (amenable for use from May into the fall). The Bachert Studio, a large garage at the back of the property was upgraded in 2018 to include a glass garage door for natural light, water hook up and a heating system to allow for year round use. In 2013 the Pomerene Center became owners of a derelict 1/2 acre lot in the center of downtown Coshocton for the purpose of developing an artPARK. The artPARK was officially opened in 2017 as an open and accessible public space for creative engagement.
In 2021 the Pomerene moved out of their historic home with plans to relocate on Main Street. The move was motivated by an internal assessment that focused on the strengths of the artPARK to engage the community in the arts.
