The 15th Annual April Arts Exhibit opened April 6th with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by approximately 30 people. Pastor Greg Fish gave a warm presentation of the purpose of the venture ending with a prayer of blessing. Past trustees Mick Schumacher and Susan Pollock as well as the new director, Marlene Moose, also participated in the welcoming presentation.

The event is the first in an exciting partnership that has formed between Beginning Pointe Church and Monroe Arts Council, both not-for- profit organizations. They both  endeavor to utilize the recreational building, constructed in 1986 by church members, for community events. Eventual plans are to expand the building. At present, the facility may be rented for various uses under contract to the church.

The Arts Council is co-sponsoring this month-long event which continues through the last weekend in April. The judged arts exhibit may be viewed on Sat. and Sun. April 27th and 28th. Artwork is also now available for purchase. Many pieces have already been sold and the artists along with other vendors from around the county are selling their crafts and wares.
