Students in Lewisville have taken the creative reins to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., with an art exhibit showcasing their talent. Their artwork, recognized in the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day civic event, is now on display at the Lewisville Grand Theater. The pieces, wading through a theme of unity with "Becoming One: The time is always right to do what is right," can be viewed until March 2, echoing King's timeless message of justice and equality.
Lewisville's cultural gem, The Grand, located at 100 N. Charles Street, doesn't just stop at art. Tucked away within the Education Wing Gallery, visitors can gaze upon these inspirational works from Tuesday to Saturday, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., and during the varied public events that pepper The Grand's vibrant schedule. The center doesn't shy away from the spotlight, regularly hosting everything from music and dance to theater and comedy. Boasting a 294-seat Huffines Performance Hall and an array of other performance spaces, the Lewisville Grand Theater stands as a testament to the city's dedication to the arts and community engagement, as per City of Lewisville.
For out-of-towners looking to soak up some culture or locals playing tourist in their own city, finding The Grand is a breeze. Just a hop, skip, and a jump from Interstate 35E, take exit 452 and follow your nose east on Main Street until Charles Street greets you, with The Grand waiting on the left. Parking woes begone, as free public spaces are readily available along Main and Church streets, and at Lewisville City Hall, a stone's throw away from the cultural oasis.
And if this tickles your fancy for art, performance, and history colliding, keep tabs on The Grand's upcoming events or wrangle some info on renting the facility by giving a ring at 972.219.8446. Remember, this art extravaganza is more than just an exhibit; it's a spotlight on the "Old Town" Big Move, part of the Lewisville 2025 vision plan, which the entire plan can be scrutinized online for the curious minds wanting a deeper dive into the city's future, as stated in City of Lewisville.
