Center for the Arts BASH fundraiser Saturday, May 2nd. Expect road closure on Church Street.
Road closures between Church and Maple Streets this weekend!
Saturday, May 2nd, is the Center for the Arts' Annual Backstage BASH, held in the evening on the street between Church and Maple. We will not have a tent installed this year, but because of the load-in needs and the cocktail hour on the street, we will still have the area permitted and blocked off on Friday, May 1, beginning at 6 pm, which is when our city-approved street closure begins. We are so excited to have this event again!
Please make sure your vehicles and your clients' vehicles are not parked in that area after 6 pm on Friday. The road closure will end on Sunday at noon, and we will be all cleaned up by then.
Thank you all for your patience as we gather to raise funds for the artistic work and advocacy here in our community! Timeline:
