The Piedmont Center for the Arts began the idea of creating a focused cultural plan about this time last year.

“Piedmont Council for the Arts Director Sarah Lawson says that while there’s a strong arts community in the region, there’s still room to increase support and funding for it.

The opening event is free and occurs at the Paramount Theater tonight at 6:00, with wine and hor d’oeuvres being offered from 5:00-6:00. The official announcement and invitation from Piedmont Center for the Arts provides further details:
