OUR MISSION

Paper Circle is dedicated to educating and enriching the culture and economy of southeast Ohio through the preservation, advancement and celebration of the paper and book arts. We are a non-profit committed to arts learning in order to provide studio mentoring for interns, teaching opportunities for artists, learning opportunities for community members, and holistic arts-based enrichment and wellness opportunities for children.

Located on the historic, starbrick-lined square of Nelsonville, Ohio, our spacious northern-lit gallery hosts six exhibitions annually and also includes a shop where we feature an assortment of handmade paper and objects of art. Our creative studio is located in the rear, complete with a Hollander beater, 2 presses and numerous vats and dryers for making paper on-site. We have our O-Gami studios in the basement. We also offer year-round community workshop. Our major outreach program, Circle for Kids, takes place in the summer. In response to the lack of art education in the school from grades K-8,  Circle for Kids provides the underserved area youth a summer of enrichment and learning through the arts.
