  • Three Song Stories LIVE

    Three Song Stories is an exploration of the power music has to connect us to times, places, people, and emotions from our lives. The show brings out the guests’ personalities, and personal histories, by mining the connections music has made during their lifetimes. It’s also a chance to sit back and listen to the eclectic mix of songs the guests have chosen for their ultimate musical memory short list.

    The Guest of Honor is our very own Terry Tincher!

  • One Pint at a Time

Be part of the long tradition of crowd participation as guests are encouraged to dance along to the Time Warp, yell back at the movie, and throw props in time with the action on screen and our shadow cast.

  • In the Gallery

    Our September Gallery is a year in the making. This Juried Exhibition is in conjunction with the oral history project, Storm Stories. Instead of the usual Opening Reception, we will be holding a closing reception on September 28th, from 5-7:00 pm, to honor the one year anniversary of Hurricane Ian.

    Events will be held throughout the month to commemorate, memorialize and continue to heal from last year’s storm. Information about all of the September Storm Stories events will be posted on this page soon. Stay tuned!

It is the place to gather, meet new people, start conversations, bring attention to, and, ultimately, solve the challenges our community faces.
