The Art Cat Jazz Club Opens at the Arts Center

Our spring fundraiser this year will occur in a new music venue in Huntingdon: The Art Cat Jazz Club. The Art Cat is the former dining room on the lower level of the Art Center, newly decorated to serve as a place to enjoy live music, have a glass of wine, and kick back. 

The Club will be open on Saturday, March 25, between 7 and 10 p.m. Club goers will enjoy listening to Jordan Canner’s group, No Filter Jazz, who will be performing jazz standards throughout the evening. 

Tickets are on sale for $25 per person and can be purchased online (through Thursday, March 23), at the Arts Center during exhibition hours, or for $35 at the door. Admission will include non-alcoholic beverages, coffee, and tea. Delicious snacks from Standing Stone Coffee also are included. (Note that this will be an after-dinner event, so don’t expect a full meal.) Three Twelve Kitchen & Cocktails will be selling spirits and wine by the glass, and door prizes will be awarded to several lucky people. 

To enter the Art Cat Jazz Club, walk down the steps on Mifflin Street to the lower level of the Arts Center. When you purchase a ticket, you will receive a password that you will need to get inside. 

Arthur the Art Cat, the eponymous inspiration for the club, is pictured here. In case you are wondering, Arthur paints mainly in the Impressionist manner (see elsewhere in this newsletter), with occasional forays into surrealism. His fellow artist and frequent companion, the Jazz Cat, also pictured here, will be assisting with Club activities. The Jazz Cat (also known as “Jaz”) enjoys all forms of jazz music, from Dixieland to bebop. 

Mark your calendars. Only a limited number of seats are available, so purchase your tickets soon. It should be fun, and it’s even rumored that Arthur the Art Cat will make a special guest appearance!
