The Center for the Arts is well known for hosting everything from national music concerts, feature film screenings, community theater programs, to showcasing artwork by regional, national, and international visual artists in its art gallery. Their facilities are also available to other community organizations and individuals for a variety of educational purposes, events, and private functions.
