Mission: THELMA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization enriching our community through the arts.

Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts is a member-based, privately-funded non-profit dedicated to providing arts experiences not readily available in the area. Intimate concerts in the Great Hall, street concerts with major performers, indoor films, and art from world-renowned artists are available at THELMA. THELMA also offers a stunning backdrop for weddings, meetings and all social and corporate gatherings.

THELMA enriches our community through the arts by providing arts education, and bringing visual and performing artists to Fond du Lac. The Susan O. Ahern Contemporary Wing and the lower level are free to access and view current art exhibitions. Offering scholarships to THELMA’s Studio 51 art classes as well as an annual arts day camp, On Stage@THELMA, students are given an opportunity to express themselves and allow creativity. THELMA also continues to offer Children’s Chorale, a program for students grades 4 – 8 that teaches musicianship and artistry through a performance-based music education process. THELMA programs aim to inspire appreciation and enjoyment of art, while developing personal and artistic excellence.
