First Lady to Speak at Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Fine Arts Center
A ribbon cutting ceremony for the Ophelia Parrish Fine Arts Center renovation and addition project will take place at 3 p.m., Sept. 27, at the north side of the building. First Lady Lori Hauser Holden will be a special guest at the ceremony. A reception will be held in conjunction with the Visual Arts Faculty Art Show. Tours will be conducted.The original Ophelia Parrish building, named after Ophelia A. Parrish who served as the head of library and professor of library economy, was officially opened on Sept. 12, 1923. An addition was added in 1939.
The building was used as a lab school and was home to Kirksville's Junior High School until Kirksville built a new junior high in the early 1980s. After the junior high moved out, the original building was used for classroom and office space, while the addition was used for storage.
In 1997 the Missouri Legislature approved the funding of the first phase of a two phase project for the renovation and addition of Ophelia Parrish that would allow all of the Fine Arts Division to finally be housed under one roof. The first phase included the renovation of the south wing while the second phase funding included the construction of the new addition as well as the renovation of the north wing.
