May 27, 2020 – Each spring The Center for the Arts gathers community members together with an update on the ongoing story of The Center. This year is a little different. The annual meeting will be held online via zoom offering a pay-what-you-can ticket as well as dinner options from The Ham Stand available for curbside pick-up or home delivery.
The anticipation for this year’s meeting was high as The Center for the Arts was looking forward to welcoming the community into their newly remodeled home for a state-of-the art experience and celebration of their reopening. While COVID-19 restrictions are preventing The Center from inviting everyone to gather, they have found a silver-lining in the ability to broadcast the meeting online and invite a larger audience to celebrate what this community has built.
The Center is excited to offer a Pay-What-You-Can option for anyone in the community interested in attending the Virtual Annual Meeting to learn more about The State of the Center, The Capital Campaign and renovation project, and their plans to reopen through the phases of COVID-19 recovery. All non-dinner ticket sales are tax-deductible donations as the Annual Meeting also supports Youth Arts and other programs. The Center for the Arts Virtual Annual Meeting is Thursday, June 4, 2020 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
