Dear Arts & Lectures friends and family, 

The Wait Is (Almost) Over!

We're thrilled and grateful to be returning to live/in-person public events very soon. A very big thanks to all of you who helped keep us safe and guided us on the path that is bringing us together again. There are still some uncertainties, and we will share updates as they are available, but here's what we know for sure: we will gather at live events to reconnect, to recharge our inner lives, to be renewed and restored, to be enlivened and entertained.

As our 2021-2022 programming initiative proclaims: we are CREATING HOPE.

We've just announced our free summer film series at the West Wind Drive-in, Be Excellent and Party On – yes, it's a time to get outside and enjoy some fun films with family and friends. Expect food trucks, entertainment, prizes and of course the films: sweetness, adventures, hilarity.

Later this summer we'll announce our 2021-2022 season of performing arts and public lectures. 

So stay tuned for the big reveal!

Thanks to all who joined us this past season for our House Calls series of virtual events, our acclaimed Race to Justice series and our international event with His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama which drew thousands of viewers worldwide. We are so grateful to have served our community in this way.

Going forward, safety protocols, audience comfort levels and the courage and resilience of our community will continue to shape our planning process. 

With deepest gratitude,

Celesta M. Billeci

Miller McCune Executive Director
