George Winston to grace the Center stage

Inspired by the seasons, solo pianist George Winston is a consummate performer and humanitarian. Winston has seven multi-platinum, platinum and gold records and his latest CD is entitled Gulf Coast Blues and Impressions A Hurrican Relief Benefit. George will perform songs from his latest CD, as well as selections from his seasonal favorites. George will be working with the Oh Be Joyful Baptist Church to conduct a canned food drive at this concert, and we encourage you to bring a donation of non-perishable food items to the show for this local food bank.

Rural Route Film Festival

Reel Fest is pleased to bring The Rural Route Film Festival to the Center for the Arts for two nights of enlightening, entertaining film. The Rural Route has been created to highlight works that deal with rural people and places. The term rural is defined by Websters Dictionary as: 1) Of or relating to the country; 2) Of or relating to people who live in the country; 3) Of or relating to farming. But the creators of Rural Route Film Festival leave it up to the film and video artists to explain their definition of “rural”, whether it be a documentary about an organic turnip farm in West Virginia, a fictional backpacking drama set in Peru, or a personal/experimental work about life in a small town in Wisconsin. Works might include alternative country, country western, and folk music, as well as rock concerts in cornfields.

Tickets are $10 for each night and will be available at the door the night of the show.
