Let us introduce you to Evie Schaffer! She’s one of the talented musicians performing at Artoberfest on Saturday, October 14th. Music brought to you by Munoz Law Office! 🎨🎸
Evie is 17 year old Parkersburg native about to graduate cosmetology school, all while performing at local venues. We enjoyed her cover of “Country Roads” so much that we nicknamed her Janice Denver. Get here early on October 14th because she’s our opening act, starting at 5pm!

The Parkersburg Art Center is an elegant, versatile, and unique venue, with lots of room, no restrictions on your choice of caterer, and plenty of available parking for your guests. When you book your event at the Parkersburg Art Center, you don’t just get a facility....you get an event that’s a work of art!
A wedding, a corporate event, a reunion -- whatever sort of occasion you are planning for -- can be a very exciting time, but also a time full of decisions to be made. One of the biggest decisions you’ll make in your planning is “WHERE?” You’ve come up with your budget and an idea about the number of participants. Now there are some questions you should ask yourself while deciding about the location for your event:
Does this venue’s capacity fit my estimated guest list?
Does this layout fit my needs?
Does the space fit my event’s general vibe and/or theme?
I believe you’ll find that the Parkersburg Art Center can answer “YES” to all these questions.
Speaking of saying “yes”, if you are recently engaged and planning a wedding, congratulations! While I love to host EVERY kind of event, planning a wedding is a particular joy. Please get in touch with me today, see our facility, and listen to MY proposal. I’m confident that your answer will once again be “YES!”
I look forward to working with you to create the perfect event.
