The Jasper Arts Board met for their regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon. Arts Center Director, Kit Miracle presented the board with five artists that she is ready to book for concerts, but needed approval on the selections for the 2012 – 2013 season.

The choices are diverse which follows the board’s desire to bring in a wide variety of choices that the community can appreciate and enjoy. The board voted to approve her selections so that she could finalize the booking process which was down to one date for some of the artists.

Miracle stated they provide a good variety of concerts and the committee works hard on getting that variety.

The talent and events range from family style Christmas to comedy/satire, Russian Ballet, a ukulele musical artist, and a young, up and coming country singer.

Also in the meeting, the board voted to commit resources towards a Senior Series of arts outreaches to residents of local senior care facilities. Miracle stated that the cost would be low and would be done on a quarterly basis at the area facilities.

Finally, the board talked about the Jasper Arts Center Open House coming up on January.

Miracle says that there’s a lot going on right now with Jasper Community Arts and the Arts Center and adding the events that were approved for the 2012 season will give area residents all kinds of community arts exposure.
