High Point opens its own Art Center on Main Street
The High Point Arts Council dedicates the new High Point Art Center at 500 N Main St with an open house. The first floor houses a reception desk a potential exhibit hall and a rehearsal room for musical groups and the Community Theatre. The Fine Arts Guild will use a first floor studio and a dedicated set workshop. The second floor remains unused with plans for offices for cultural and civic groups. A Rush speech last May spurred the push for the center enabling local musicians and artists to perform locally rather than tour to Winston-Salem or Greensboro.
