Here are two videos of the fabulous Dylan Sauder, I mean King George III, sharing his gifts with all the wonderful Bellwether attendees. There is amazing talent right in our backyard.

Thank you, Bellwether! 💙

Last night we filled the room for an evening of music, a little theater magic, and an in depth look at the future Performing Arts Center in Maple Grove. We're so grateful to everyone who came out, asked great questions, and gave so generously. Your support brings us one step closer to bringing the arts home.

A huge thank-you to Dylan Sauder for a wonderful performance, and to our Bellwether hosts Gene and Janeen for opening their doors.

3 more Matilda the Musical shows to go in the backyard at Bunce Performing Arts, and several more Grooves and Foods... we hope to see you there!

Summer is heating up at Avalanche Arts! We've hit the ground running this summer- hosting getting-to-know-you tables at several Maple Grove events, including a MG Rotary event, Cross Community Players' performances of Shrek the Musical, Bunce Performing Arts' performances of Matilda, and Mick Sterling Presents' performances at the Town Green for Grooves and Foods!

Matilda and Grooves and Foods are both free and there are many amazing shows left! Click for details.

We're picking up speed with fundraising, too! Several naming rights areas have been snatched up by donors. Don't wait if you would like to name an area of the new performing arts center- contact us today!

Plans for a state-of-the-art performing arts center in Maple Grove are in the initial phase, but nonetheless have taken a significant step forward. The plans by Maple Grove nonprofit Avalanche Arts of Minnesota would build a 23,000-square-foot, 300-seat theater on a vacant 2-acre site at the intersection of Main Street and Lakeview Drive, directly across from the Hennepin County Library.
