Community Arts Center

My Dream Community Arts Center...

*a theater (of course) that produces plays based on local stories. all performances followed by talk backs, panel discussions, and interesting ways of communicating.
*a radio station
*galleries filled with artwork from local artists
*classes - public speaking, how to write a memoir, scrapbooking, guitar, tap dancing.
*a movie theater with special matinees for moms with loud babies
*pottery wheels
*book clubs
*free access internet stations
*a library of donated books
*meeting rooms for anyone who needs them
*a haunted house at halloween
*tutors
*Saturday night cabaret acts
*street musicians in the parking lot
*summer camp
*ridiculous, over the top holiday decorations
*rehearsal rooms for high school garage bands
*fair trade coffee house
*lots of bulletin boards
*venues for touring theatre groups
*tons of patio furniture
*barbeques
*weekly open mic nights
*therapeutic movement classes
*a giant easter egg hunt
*organized town wide scavenger hunts
*a community garden where everyone can have a plot
*a publishing system - so that anyone can make their writing into a bound book

I have a very similar list that I started. Where are we starting an arts center? And, when?
