Artistic Impressions with Dane Ferguson

Tuesday, April 30, 2024
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Free and open to the Public

A night of musical and visual art with author and singer-songwriter Dane Ferguson.
Browse the Art Gala offerings and listen to the smooth sounds of Dane’s acoustic folk-pop style. A family-friendly evening!

Be sure to get a signed copy of Dane’s book, Pierre Piano. It is a tale of a music-loving piano who ventures to the big city, hoping to make his music sound like the professional records given to him by his father. Ultimately, Pierre finds that the music he naturally produces is unique and special, without his having to conform to an external standard. He returns home, empowered with renewed self-acceptance, to make his exceptional music.

Light refreshments will be served—beer and wine will be on sale.
