Is There a Hidden Jewel in the Center of Fairfield Ohio?

In the heart of Fairfield Ohio sits there sits a shining example of community planning and investment in the arts.
Nestled off Pleasant Avenue (or Nilles) in the heart of Village Green, the Fairfield Community Arts Center stands prominently across from the Lane Public Library.
As you drive by in the afternoon a long line students can be seen marching there to enjoy after school activities and people of all ages are always streaming in and out of the building.
The Community Arts Center has been open for 3 years and I admit…I have yet to walk through the doors and enjoy all the benefits the Center offers. I was totally ignorant about the wide variety of events taking place and during a recent wedding reception that coworkers told us how excited they were about an upcoming concert…my husband and I turned to each other with the “deer in the headlights” look on our faces. Our kids have moved on and I have not stayed on top of “extra ciricular activies” available to us.
So I contacted the Manager of the Community Arts Center, Heidi Schiller, who was a great source of information. After talking to her, I am sorry that, among other things, I missed the Japanese Cultural Affair.
According to their web site the 40,000-square-foot Center houses a theater, arts studio, fitness studio, children’s room, senior lounge, community room and an art gallery. And the quarterly Fairfield Bulletin has an insert with details covering classes and upcoming events.
My bad- we have missed a lot a unique and reasonably priced events.
Not to mention the Community Arts Center is close to home and offers free parking!
Don’t wait for somebody to open your eyes to this “gem” in our midst. The next time you are out and about and Fairfield, stop by and visit the Community Arts Center. Who knows- you might run into your neighbors (or us)at a concert or an event.
