At this time, due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) the Center for the Arts is shut down.  Specifically our Broad Ideas arts show has been cancelled and we hope it will be safe to reconvene in 2021!  This difficult decision was made for the health and safety of patrons, performers, volunteers, and Center staff.    

Additional updates will also be posted on our facebook page and website as they become available.    

In the spirit of Broad Ideas, BE KIND TO EACH OTHER AND YOURSELF!
