MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Middletown Art Center, or MAC, invites everyone to get funky and join them on Saturday, Jan. 7, for a celebration of the life and work of the great late James Brown.

Brown passed on Dec. 25, 2006.

Dance in the new year with soul with JB’s music in the front of the house, and videos of his extraordinary performances in the back. 

There is a $5 cover fee and wine and beer will be for sale.

Doors open at 7 p.m. The dance starts at 7:30 p.m., and all proceeds benefit the Middletown Art Center.

“By coming, you are not only celebrating the life and work of a great artist, but also supporting the MAC venue and the growing Arts and Culture scene in Lake County,” said Lisa Kaplan, MAC director.

The Middletown Art Center is a nonprofit arts organization that continues to be dedicated to promoting community and economic recovery in south Lake County after the 2015 fires, through the arts, culture, and community events.

Currently on view is the Members Holiday Show, until Jan. 22, an exhibit of variety and curatorial flow showcasing MAC member artists’ work.

“Driven to Abstraction” is MAC’s next show with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Jan 28. A Call for Work is in process and submissions are due Jan. 10.

MAC is located at 21456 State Highway 175, at the junction of Highways 29 and 175 in Middletown and offers an array of memberships, child and adult classes in the arts, performance opportunities and a new Cinema Club.
