The Monroeville Arts Council launched summer activities — late spring, technically — with an Art in the Park event June 10.
Youngsters and their families were invited to enjoy a day of hands-on arts and crafts activities in Pavilion #5 at Monroeville Community Park West, exploring a variety of projects to stimulate their imagination: painting, sculpting, music and crafts.
The actual start of a new season will bring the return of the arts council’s Summer Concert Series, sponsored by UPMC East. All concerts are free and held from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Community College of Allegheny County Boyce Campus auditorium, 595 Beatty Road, Monroeville.
Featured are:
• July 9 — Darryl & Kim, jazz and R&B
• July 16 — East Winds Symphonic Band
• July 23 — Judi Figel and accompaniment
Concerts continue into the fall with:
• Oct. 22 — The Pittsburgh Belairs
• Dec. 3 — Larry Cervi’s East End Kids
Stay tuned for updates and additions to the lineup featuring local talent.
The Monroeville Arts Council is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to arts education and promoting the arts within the community.
