The Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation (OCAF) has been an artistic staple of Oconee County since its founding in 1994. These days, the nonprofit mostly focuses on visual arts, with some courses on writing, crafting, and dance. Now, they’re adding performing arts to the roster. WUGA’s Havivah Saltz sat down with longtime OCAF Board Member Vicky Moody and Events Manager Christina Cruz to discuss the upcoming program.

OCAF’s first theatrical production, Almost Maine, will open at Rocket Hall on the OCAF campus on Valentine’s Day weekend of 2027. You can get involved at ocaf.com.

Havivah Saltz has been with WUGA since 2023 as an on-air host and the producer for African Perspectives. She got her start in radio on WOBC FM at Oberlin College (class of ‘23), and she’s also worked as an on-air host on Athens' Power 100.1 and Magic 102.1. She is currently the interim producer of Athens News Matters. Outside of work, you can find Havivah making art, writing fiction, practicing Japanese, petting her very round cat, and watching concerning amounts of TV.
