Fine Arts Center - Grand Rapids Michigan - Winter- Spring 2010 Entertainment

We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful entertainment venue in our

Forest Hills Area.  The fabulous Fine Arts Centers Shows this winter-spring season

have something for everyone.  Not only the headlining events like Amy Grant, and

Whose Live Anyway, the local high school events are not exactly the amateur events

I remember from my school days.  The musicals we have seen have had seriously

talented young performers from our local high schools.

There are still quite a few shows to catch this season. If you haven't been to our

fabulous gold star LEED performance center, you should stop by and take a look.

It is open every day from 8am to 5 pm with a featured artist-in-residence work

displayed in the lobby.  This month, fiber artist Jo-Ann Van Reeuwyk displays

vessels that explore the concept of containment.

Fine Arts Center 

We volunteer at the Fine Arts Center and find it a very entertaining and rewarding

way to give back to our community.  We have ushered shows, taken tickets, handed

out programs, placed posters and guided people to their seats.  The Fine Arts Center

 is a part of the Forest Hills School System but must survive financially on its own,

 which means volunteers are vital to the program. Without volunteers, it wouldn't be

possible to fund the shows and events that take place here to enrich the community.
