NMH will be celebrating all things artful at the grand opening of the Rhodes Arts Center May 2. Several activities and performances will take place, including a student production of the play Love Letters, the opening of an exhibit of modern artworks at the gallery, and a performance by the Led Balloon Jug Band, a group of alumni from the class of 1967 who play roots music with a variety of homemade instruments. A ribbon-cutting for the RAC was held in September 2008 and this event fetes those who contributed to its success. Tours of the arts center, and of the under-construction Bolger House, will be given throughout the day.
