Forest Hills Michigan Fine Arts Center Winter-Spring 2010
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 productions 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.

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 to enrich the community.
