yes,this a true Art location inside an old historic courthouse made of Stone. They have a lot of different great events including many music events that are just outstanding. A lot of the events are posted outside by the entrance. Or just go inside and get an up to date list of What is going on. Tickets are reasonable prices and they have a limited amount of refreshments. It funds other art and education programs which we should all keep going anyway.A great cause to keep the arts in the area going ...You can go online to see what events are going on or are coming in the near future.We even years ago went to a New Years event here and it was a lot of fun.
