Lynne Pierce Dean

     The Arts Commission is saddened at the loss of Lynne Pierce Dean.  Lynne served the Boyle County community as County Attorney  with integrity and grace.  She was a wonderful mother and wife.  We are very honored to have Lynne serve on the Arts Commission Board twice.  She guided us during our transition years as we relocated our offices out into the community.  When her term as County Attorney was over, she rejoined the Board and continued her service of advising and supporting our work with her legal expertise and care for the goals of providing arts opportunities throughout our community.  Lynne will be missed by so many in all walks of life, and we count ourselves as privileged to have known her.  Our organization was the better for her service and we are grateful for the life she shared with us.

Scarlet Cup Theater presents comedy “Bad Dates”

Scarlet Cup Theater has hit the mark again with a venue and play pairing which is sure to entertain and fascinate audiences.  The play is Bad Dates , a one woman comedy, and the venue is the historic Clemens Caldwell house on the Old Harrodsburg Road (Maple Avenue).  The play is set in a New York apartment and the charming architecture of the Clemens Caldwell house fits the bill perfectly.

The show opens Oct. 31st and will run Nov. 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10.  Tickets will be available on the Arts Commission web site beginning Oct. 1st.  Opening night tickets will include a reception hosted by the Scarlet Cup Theater board members in the elegant dining room of the house.

Guests will be welcomed before the show into the formal living room and then will be seated in the stunning foyer for the action.  Scarlet Cup is grateful to Dr. John and Jane Pappas, the new owners of the home, who have donated the home and grounds for this event.

Rob Caldwell, a relative of the original owners of the home, will present a history of the house at the Boyle County Public Library on Oct. 27th at 3:00.  The public is welcome to attend this free program.

 

Time to adopt a fire hydrant!

  

Stan Clifford and DecoArt have teamed up with the Arts Commission to spruce up the fire hydrants in and around downtown Danville.  Designer PLA Schneider produced several clever ideas for Fire Chief Ken Pflug to consider. Here are his choices and how much fun!

So, scout around your neighborhood and the downtown to stake your claim to one of the fire hydrants which are candidates for a makeover.  Priority goes to those which are already painted and really in need of a face lift.  Each fire hydrant has a metal disc with a number.  Note the number and the address and contact the Arts Commission to reserve your own fire hydrant.

Kits with paint, template and instructions will be provided courtesy of DecoArt and some friends of the Arts Commission.

Come on!  Join in the fun with your family, friends and kids and leave your mark!!
