Interested in Board Service?

The Morgan Conservatory is looking for new board members with skills in Finance, Marketing, IT, Construction, and Fundraising to increase the expertise and size of its Board as we take on new projects and initiatives in 2025 and beyond.

 

The Morgan Conservatory is an Ohio nonprofit art center dedicated to preserving and innovating the art of hand papermaking as well as letterpress printing and book arts.  One of a handful of art centers in the country dedicated to these crafts, the Morgan draws an audience locally, nationally, and internationally as we provide educational and professional opportunities for emerging and established artists - through workshops, gallery exhibitions, artist residencies, internships, volunteer opportunities and more. The Morgan has a half acre garden where we grow our own plants for papermaking, embracing a holistic and sustainable cycle- from plant to paper.
