Performing Arts & Events Center Meeting
6:30 pm • Monroe Family YMCA
The Monroe Arts Council invites the Sky Valley community to come together
to talk about bringing a performing arts, events, and conference center to
the Monroe area.
Bring your ideas on what you would like to see in terms of such a
multi-purpose center. Many community organizations are in need of a space in
which to practice and hold events. The Sky Valley community supports a
concert band with over 50 members; there are performing arts (theater)
groups; we are home to a number of art organizations; and our students would
benefit from having access to such a venue. To maintain the center on a
solid financial footing, it may be desirable to create a space that is an
attractive venue for conventions and a wide spectrum of events and
activities, such as indoor sporting events and teams like the Explosion
basketball.
A Performing Arts, Events and Conference Center would inject revenue into
the local community at multiple levels, and help make Monroe a travel
destination. This initial planning session will give Sky Valley residents a
chance to voice their desires and concerns, and to start the process of
defining what is possible in our community, and how to get there.
