Munroe Center for the Arts invites the public to engage in conversation about plans to formalize the existing summer stage in the front lawn of the Arts Center. At this meeting, we’ll share designs that reflect the proposed plan to create an accessible, sustainable, and intimate space for performers, campers, and the community.

EVENT DETAILS: 

This Community Conversation has been created to share information about the proposed plans for a summer stage at the Munroe Center for the Arts, and to engage residents, neighbors, and stakeholders in conversation about their ideas and concerns for the proposed space. 

The gathering will begin with a brief overview of the Munroe Center for the Arts, followed by a presentation of project designs that incorporate feedback that has been received to date from the community. In the remaining time, both in-person and online attendees will be invited to provide input about the project, guided by a professional facilitator. The facilitator will assemble all the information and provide a public report back to the community.

The Summer Stage Project is an extension of more than 30 years of Munroe Arts’ summer camp outdoor Friday performances, its annual summer Lemonade Social, and Munroe Center Stage (the monthly performance series that ran from 2010 through 2020). The mission of Munroe Center Stage has been to support and cultivate local artists in an accessible, entertaining, and intimate environment.

Munroe Center for the Arts’ mission is to ignite curiosity and celebrate creativity by offering arts education, artist studios, and community experiences that are open and accessible to all. Visit us online to learn more about finding a class, a workshop, an event, or art camp!
