Join Us for our Spring Fundraiser: The Illustrated Table  
  
Imagine dining in a room filled with tables that have each been fabulously decorated with a famous illustration or illustrator as its theme. Alice in Wonderland place settings or Chris Van Allsburg centerpieces surround you... How delightfully inspiring! 

Now add a bit of friendly competition! You and your friends can purchase a table and design the centerpiece and table settings based on your chosen theme. Your design could be rewarded with a fabulous prize!

SoundIsRed at the Arts Council this Saturday

"A SoundIsRed set is as disarming as it is rare: behind every one-man track there is a pounding arsenal of flashing lights, frenetic lasers and dream-like fog, all driven and skillfully administered alongside an organic live beat and backed by a storyline that traces a group of interstellar characters."

 

Don't miss Kevin Depree's free performance!

Coming this month: Dr. Seuss! 
  
Few authors or artists are better known than Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss. Yet, to this day, his "Midnight Paintings" and secret Hat Collection are virtually unknown to the American public. For the first time in history, these two collections are being featured in a special exhibition: his never-before-seen Hat Collection will be exhibited alongside a vast array of his secret "Midnight Paintings."

Join us April 24 - May 11 for this rare opportunity to view Dr. Seuss's coveted hats and witness their direct impact on his most sought-after works of art.
