Open house gala at WCSU's Visual and Performing Arts Center

An opening gala is being held Sunday at Western Connecticut State University's new Visual and Performing Arts Center.  The behind the scenes open house will allow the community to see and hear West Conn students, faculty and staff actively using the new building.  University spokesman Paul Steinmetz says there are three distinctive wings of the facility designed specifically for art, music and theater arts.

The event will open with remarks from University President Dr James Schmotter.  Among the spaces that will be used and on view are the Concert Hall, Main Stage Theater, Studio Theater, a recording studio, the art gallery and sculpture studio. 

 

Steinmetz says the behind the scenes event will offer the community a glimpse of how the space comes to life when students and staff are there.

 

Opening events will be held in each of the three main performance and exhibition spaces over the next several weeks.  Sunday's open house at the center starts at 1:30pm on West Conn's westside campus.
