We use Facebook now for most of our agenda information for both the cultural center as well as the art gallery and restaurant.

soulguardiansportraitweb
We offer live music every Friday and Saturday night in the patio/beer Garden of the restaurant and are currently experimenting with live music on Thursdays. We sometimes offer events in parallel in the upstairs rooms of the Art Gallery/Cultural center. More typically we try to program for Monday thru Wednesday so as not to collide with music from the restaurant.
