Celebrating the completion of the new Marshall County Children's Arts Center, the Marshall Co. Arts Commission and the City of Benton are throwing a ticketed party. Anne Riley of the Arts Commission speaks with Kate Lochte on Sounds Good about the event on October 16 and updates on the current status of the new building, as well as some of the events that have already gotten underway there.
A few tickets remain for the inaugural City of Benton Progressive Party, raising funds to keep the new Marshall County Children's Arts Center sustainable. Tickets are $50 and a limited quantity remain. The party features seven stops throughout Benton, each with food and entertainment, transportation provided.
The Arts Commission held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the center last Thursday, September 25. On October 26, they will host a grand opening at the location, 1202 Elm St. in Benton. Currently, the building has one more project - a pipe aiding the new rain garden. Also, in the next month they will be adding sidewalks and landscaping to spruce up the outside.
The Arts Center has already held summer camps and hosts after school chorus and theater activities, with more on the way.
