The Maple Valley Creative Arts Council executed several programs in the Arts to benefit our community. 1) Two Art Shows at the Creative Arts Center. Local artists displayed works of art. The opening receptions welcomed an average of 60 people who enjoyed live music and refreshments. 2) Arts Fest and Gala showcased local visual artists, music performers, young talent and theatrical performers. Close to 2000 people attended. 3) Maple Valley Idol, Jr. Young people, ages 8 - 16 sang and performed for the honor of being recognized for their talents. The five top winners were given opportunities to perform in the community throughout the year, including representing the MVCAC in the Maple Valley Days Parade. 4) Theater performances The Creative Arts Center hosted a Seattle theatrical troupe, Midnight Mystery Theater, three times. A local playwright produced performances at the CAC, including an original work named "A Christmas Carol, the Cat". 5) Maple Valley Mural Volunteers (MVMV) A local group of mural enthusiasts met regularly to freshen up the three murals the MVCAC had painted. 6) Ten weekly Summer Concerts in the Arboretum 7) Slug Hunt The third annual Easter egg-styled hunt for clay decorated slugs. 700 people participated. 8) Monthly JC's Improv nights 9) Open Mic held monthly 10) The MVCAC collaborated with the Maple Valley Arboretum to create and install metal animal sculptures in the Children's Garden 11) The MVCAC collaborated with the City of Maple Valley to create and install a public mural at the Summit Park reminiscent of the Little Engine That Could. Each program was designed to attract the interests of community members. All programs were ADA accessible. Most programs were offered free of charge or very low cost. All programs were open to people of all ages and genders. We continue to expand our programming to celebrate the arts and create community through the arts.
