Greetings!   Summer arrives early at the Cultural Arts Center.  While June is the official start of summer, May is when our summer and fall Activities Guides arrive.  Please look for it on our web site, www.ci.hillsboro.or.us/wcac and at the Center in early May.
 
We'll be taking a vacation from concerts over the summer, so please join us on Friday, June 5th for Saffire's "Farewell Tour" concert (see below).   Open Poetry, Spoken Word lectures and art exhibitions and gallery openings will continue through the summer, but the book club will take a break and resume in September.
 
The Cultural Arts Center will host the world premiere of "Lucky Jim's Fishing Show" in May and June.  This live comedy radio theatre will offer new episodes each week, so come for one or all of them!  Whether or not you are old enough to remember the days of live radio comedy and drama, we're sure you'll have a memorable time in the audience for this Lithium Theatre production!

Jeni Foster grew up on the high plains of Montana listening to the far-off  whistles of trains that evoked images of exotic plces and people whose lives were very different from her own.  In this highly entertaining and educational program, she presents vignettes from the development of our nation through the prism of railroad songs from a variety of musical genres.

Footloose & Free in Hillsboro!

 
WCAC Building The Arts Center is a featured stop on Metro's "Walk There" tour of downtown Hillsboro, a free, self-guided walking tour of historic downtown Hillsboro.  You can pick up a copy of the tour map at the Center or at http://www.oregonmetro.gov.  Spring and summer are ideal seasons to take the tour.  Bring your lunch or a snack and sit on a park bench in the Arts Center's beautiful Centennial Park, donated by the Rotary Club in 2005 and just steps from our front doors, and enjoy a full day of free and fun activities in Hillsboro!   Our gallery exhibits change every month!  While you are here pick up an Activities Guide and think about signing up for one of our classes.
