Center for Arts - Grand Opening Weekend!

Following extensive renovation, the building at 30 Belvidere Street, former Vigilance Hose Company turned Borough Office Building, is reborn tonight as the Nazareth Center for the Arts.  To celebrate there will be activity all weekend starting off with Friday’s Open House reception from 7:00 – 9:30 p.m. featuring light refreshments and background music by harp soloist Sue Moll.  Come on out to see the Center’s phase one renovation.  There will also be artwork and photography in the gallery by Kathleen Hildebrandt, Jane Marshall, Brenda Messinger-Voll, and photographer Rick Smith.

Saturday will feature two shows by Dave Fry.  Fry has received many accolades including the 2009 Best Folk Performer at the LV Music Awards.  His children’s shows are highly interactive and engaging with children taking part throughout.  The Morning Call recently reported (read it here) that, “Fry will bring his usual humor and interactive songs perfect for all ages to concerts at 1 and 3 p.m. Saturday. Kids should prepare to join Fry on stage for classics such as ''Baby Shark'' and ''Peanut Butter.''”  Admission for each show is $10 per person, family of four is $30.

On Sunday, Dave Doll, Magic Bean, and Karen & Amy Jones will all perform from 1:00 – 5 p.m.  Admission is $10.00 for all three and tickets can be purchased at the door.  Dave Doll pairs words and melodies to form a signature style with raw emotion and take-notice guitar playing.  Magic Bean will perform classic folk/rock covers plus original music by Nazareth native Chris Thomas.  Easton performers Karen & Amy Jones are classically trained singers, who now write songs, sing, and play guitar as an acoustic rock duo.
