This was a fabulous memory for the original cast of The Piano Paradox! Following a series of free performances for local area students, and with the support of wonderful donors, the talented young artists, plus two musicians who aren’t in this photo, hit the recording studio to preserve the original work by Liz Orndorff. Now, the new cast has a stellar example to inspire them in preparing for the new production in 2025. This is what the Arts Commission is all about…opportunities and inspiration.

This every other year event is a one of a kind! Every ticket is a winner! IF you have a ticket, when your name is called, you get to select from a room full of wonderful art donated by artists and friends of the Arts Commission. It is a hard task, so we throw a Preview Party on May 19th from 7:00 – 9:00 to give you time to plot your strategy. The Draw Party is on May 20th beginning at 6:30. There are also several pieces up for live auction, including a painting from Sheldon Tapley, framed by Maple Tree Gallery. A silent auction will include unique pieces. Follow us on Facebook for a glimpse of some of the items which could be yours! Tickets are $100 and are limited, reserve yours at arts@historicdanvilleky.com before they are gone. Below are pieces by Tillie Sowders, Pam Leinauer, and Mary Trollinger.
