Join us June 27 for Irish Folk & Reel group Currach Irish Trio, featuring Daithi Wolfe on fiddle, Darl Ridgely on bodhran, and Josh Perkins on guitar - and all three as “exceptional and spirited vocalists!” Please join us in thanking concert sponsor First Citizens State Bank. The trio’s traditional Celtic songs and tunes will be nicely complemented by food vendor Annie’s Burgertown, who will be offering a selection of Irish and American food.

Another annual favorite has returned:
“A Retrospective”
Samples of creativity, past and present, produced by the Whitewater Community
Public Art Project 2024
This year we are pleased to present a retrospective of our Public Art Projects of the past together with new artwork by the five schools of the Whitewater Unified School District.
From birds and butterflies to chairs and quilts, our past Public Art Projects have brought beauty and creativity to Whitewater. These projects have not only enhanced our physical environment, but have also fostered a sense of community pride and engagement.
As we reflect on these past projects, we are reminded of the power of art to inspire, uplift, and connect us. We are grateful for the support of our community, and look forward to continuing to bring art to the public spaces of Whitewater.
We invite art enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds to visit one or many of our programs this summer at the Cultural Arts Center.
We look forward to a bright future in 2024 and beyond.
