In order to provide even more value to OVConnect members, we have teamed with Oglebay Institute (OI) to provide discounted annual memberships to OI. By simply being an OVConnect member (read the big print below for full details), you can receive $10 off any new OI membership and enjoy all the great benefits it has to offer year-round.
| OI Membership Type | Regular Price | Your OVC Price |
| Individual | $35 | $25 |
| Dual | $50 | $40 |
| Family | $75 | $65 |
By signing up for an OI membership, you get to participate in all their activities, including special member-only events. In addition, you'll receive special member-only pricing to a wide range of events, including: dance lessons, Towngate movies and plays, art exhibits and receptions, wine tastings, museum tours, nature workshops, live music performances, kids classes and camps, stargazing, and more. You even get discounts to OI partner regional attractions like the Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center. Learn full details on membership, visit their main site for more details on all their activities, or view their calendar.
We don't believe in fine print, so we try to put all disclaimers in extra large font. This special offer is only for registered members of OVConnect (sign up now for just $20 / $10 for students) who have never previously held an OI membership. That means you don't get the discount either if you've never had a membership, but your spouse has and you sign up for a Family or Dual plan. This special offer is meant as an introduction to OVConnect members who have not yet experienced OI.
When you sign up, you will need to tell your OI rep that you are an OVConnect member and ask for the discount. Someone from OI will then verify your membership with us before putting your order through. If you have any questions about this special offer, the benefits of OVConnect, or Oglebay Institute, please ask!
