FEBRUARY ISSUE 

Greetings ~

2023 is the year to be enthusiastic! We’re embracing all the color and sparkle our community has to offer. Let's get excited for what this year will bring us.

We are proud to share this visual look back at our accomplishments achieved in 2022. Together we connected more than 3,750+ people through art, music, and theater programs. We couldn't have achieved any of this without all our members and amazing volunteers -- THANK YOU!

We are also excited to share the many events and performances planned to take place over the next several weeks.

 


MVCAC Board members Rachel Olson and Bryan Organ are leading the 12th annual MAPLE VALLEY IDOL, JR. competition. Registrations opened this past Saturday, and within hours we had 23 singers signed up and we are currently sitting at 27 as of February 7. We are looking forward to the auditions scheduled for March 4, from 1-6 p.m., at the MV Creative Arts Center. A few fundamental changes to highlight include the following:

  • Increased audition participants from 20 to 30;

  • Contestants will audition in person at the Creative Arts Center;

  • Judges will select 13 finalists to move on to the live show on April 28 at the Tahoma Middle School Auditorium.

Please mark your calendars and plan to support our contestants and the board members leading the show. Tickets are available for purchase. If you are an MVCAC Member who'd like to help support this event, email Rachel or Bryan.


MVCAC Performing Arts Director Ed Corrigan has been collaborating with our dear friends at Midnight Mystery Theater to present a LIVE in-person performance of THE CASE OF THE MISSING CUPID on February 18 at 7:00 p.m.

Join us for an evening of fun in this witty Radio style live-read comedy full of mystery and romance.

Tickets are $12 each for adults and $8 for youths and seniors and include sweet treats and prizes. Additionally, wine will be available for purchase at $5 per glass. Click here to sign-up to attend the show. 


HELP NEEDED - VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY!

You are invited on February 16 at 6:30 p.m. to attend our first MVCAC Social of 2023. We need as many hands as possible on deck at this meeting to help paint hundreds of clay slugs sculpted by Board member Bronwyn Brestle in preparation for our upcoming annual Slug Hunt in April.

We invite anyone and everyone to participate in our MVCAC Socials. Held six times per year, each meeting consists of a fun arts and crafts activity while learning about upcoming MVCAC business, community events, and activities.

Additional socials are open to all at 6:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month in April, June, October, and November at the MV Creative Arts Center.

Last but not least:

  • Performing Arts Director Ed Corrigan and Board member Michael Murphy are hosting the OPEN MIC NIGHTSon the last Thursday of each month from 7-8:30 p.m. The next event is on February 23 at the Creative Arts Center.

Supporting these events is a lot of work, and we know that we have the best merry band of volunteers whose end goal is to create, inspire and leave a lasting impression on all in our community.

Come and join us! We hope to see you at an upcoming event or performance soon.

Kind regards,

The MV Creative Arts Council
