Reilly Nail Legacy Campaign

At its August Board Meeting, the Trustees of the Old Jail Art Center launched the public phase of a major capital campaign for the museum. The Reilly Nail Legacy Campaign honors the founding director of the museum by aiming to add substantially to the institution’s endowment while refurbishing the physical plant.

OJAC Board Chairman Lynne Teinert stated, “With Reilly’s unexpected death in July, this is an even more important undertaking for the museum. There is no greater way to honor Reilly Nail than to help sustain his great love and legacy.” more...

The public is now being solicited for gifts, with a December 31 deadline for completing the campaign. Anyone interested in learning more, or in making a gift, may contact the museum at 325/762-2269 or download our gift form.
