‘Tunes at Noon’ begins today at Carnegie Center

The Carnegie Community Arts Center will kick off its newest event, “Tunes at Noon,” from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, June 10 in the Federal Room.

Lunch will be served for only $5 and will consist of a Chicken Salad Sandwich on Croissant with a cup of homemade soup or a Large Summer Salad with an assortment of toppings. Drinks and Desserts will be available for an additional charge. Music will be provided by Tom Taksa.

The public is invited to attend the first of weekly noontime concerts to be hosted by the Carnegie in its beautiful renovated Federal Room on the main floor of the old downtown Library.

In an effort to support and promote local entertainers, the Carnegie will feature a different artist each week. After the Grand Opening,

“Tunes at Noon” will take place each Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. offering an affordable lunch and live entertainment to guests who want to experience something a little different during their busy day. The time period will allow both early and late lunch-goers to take advantage of the performances. “Brown Baggers” are welcome for $1 donation to the Carnegie. Reservations for large tables are recommended.

Area Musicians/Artists are encouraged to audition and get on the list to play during these weekly events. This is an opportunity to let the citizens of Somerset and Pulaski County see what great talent there is in the community.

The Carnegie Community Arts Center is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is to support the arts through entertainment and education. It relies solely on volunteers, rental and donations for funding, and offers a variety of programs, activities and performances to the public. Art Lovers can purchase a Carnegie Card which allows them to receive discounts and attend most events free of charge. The Carnegie is located at 107 North Main Street, Somerset.
