SPECIAL COMMUNITY EVENTS & FUNDRAISERS
Documentary Film Showing: The Artist & the Astronaut
Saturday, July 20 at 4:00 pm. Freight Depot Studio
Tickets: $15 for Adults, $5 Students 21 and Under
Featuring a discussion with Writer & Director Bill Muench following the film.
This 90-minute feature tells the story of artist Pat Musick and astronaut Jerry Carr.
Over the course of six years, Muench traveled to nine states, interviewing Apollo Astronauts, their wives, award-winning authors, artists, art historians, and NASA directors of mission control, and teamed up with music legend Todd Hobin, to tell a story that otherwise would have never been told: The unlikely meeting and incredible life journeys of Pat and Jerry, whose experiences in the 1960s and 1970s prepared them to create art that would address the social issues of woman’s rights, race relations, issues of the Native Americans, environmental sustainability, and war.

Fundraisers
Support the Arts!
Supporting the arts provides us so many benefits and rewards. Local arts help drive our economy by giving our close neighbors and visitors from far away the opportunity to explore our community and visit our local businesses. The arts make our lives joyous and support our wellbeing. Places like Hubbard Hall, where all ages, walks of life, and artistic tastes can gather to see theater, to see music, to see our children triumph, are precious. Neighbors catching up during an intermission. The parking lot at our Beacon Feed Studio filling up with parents’ cars and children running to the studio doors excited to learn the next piece of chorography. These moments strengthen our community.
We hope you share in the passion and love of the arts and our community as we do. We depend on your support to keep the magic happening. Donate Today!
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Margaret Surowka and the Entire Hubbard Hall Board
