I've raved about the new Cary Arts Center in an earlier post or two, but this weekend, area residents will have a chance to check it out for themselves. The Town of Cary is holding its Grand Opening Celebration
from 9 AM - 5 PM on Saturday, August 13. In addition to touring the building, the public can view art, dance, theater, and musical performances, try some adult mini-classes, or do some child-friendly crafts.
Town officials will hold a dedication and cornerstone ceremony in front of the building at 2:00 PM. Then at 5:30, teens will show their videos created under the Cary Youth Video Project. Later in the evening, there will be a free concert by Larkin Poe, two sisters who perform original folk, country, and pop music.
The following day, Sunday the 14th, artists who were involved with the design and renovation of the now 48,000 square foot building will hold a roundtable discussion to share with the public the process and decisions made in turning the historic Cary school into a state-of-the-art performance and art center.
When looking around, be sure not to miss the new sculptures adorning the lawns, which are part of Cary's Annual Public Art Outdoor Sculpture exhibit. Ah, but that is the subject of a future post....
