We came here last Thursday night for their open-mic night to support a friend's band. I was totally surprised at what a great place this is. The venue only holds a few hundred people (I'm guessing). The stage is pretty small, but the feel of it is like an old high school auditorium. I don't know much about the history of the place, but I get a good vibe. Its a good place to see bands play, because its small, you can get up-close and personal with the band, but still have the acoustics of a big venue. We're going back tonight for a show, I can't wait! ------------------------------------------------------- 'According to Linda Reynolds, the AV Allied Arts Association Board President, the center is home to 12 different artist groups who provide programs for children, an art gallery and theater groups and has shown art by local as well as nationally known artists.
