The Art Cat Jazz Club will return on Saturday, May 18. The Club is on the lower level of the Arts Center, recently decorated as a place to enjoy live music, have a beverage or two, meet new friends, and kick back.

Clubgoers will enjoy listening to Jordan Canner’s group, No Filter Jazz, playing jazz standards throughout the evening. This group performed at the Art Cat last year, and everyone agrees that they totally brought down the house. So we are bringing them back by popular demand.

The evening will serve as a fundraiser for the Arts Council, with tickets going at $35 a person in advance and $45 at the door. We strongly advise people to purchase tickets early, because we were SOLD OUT last time.

We have expanded the size of the club so that people will have more “elbow room” this time. We also will have room for a small dance floor. So if you want to get out of your chair and try some swing dancing, a Charleston, or even a Jitterbug or two, this is your chance!

Admission includes nonalcoholic beverages (mineral water, coffee, and tea) along with delicious snacks provided by Standing Stone Coffee Company. For those who desire something stronger, we will be selling wine, beer, and a special cocktail. Door prizes and a cash raffle will add to the festivities.

If the spirit of the speakeasy and the jazz age moves you, make sure to get your tickets soon. The Art Cat Jazz Club will be open from 7 to 10 p.m. To enter, walk down the Arts Center steps of Mifflin Street.
