Tapestry
The performing arts offered at the Center include both musical and dramatic events, all taking place in the auditorium or outdoors. Musical events generally occur between November and April. Dramatic events take place year-round. Many performing artists, in addition to their performance, offer outreach sessions at local schools as an educational experience.
The Sanders County Arts Council has merged into The Paradise Center after several years of presenting “Tapestry” performances at various locations in Sanders County. Moving forward, “Tapestry” events will be at the Center. This summary of former performances and performer website addresses is to honor previous efforts to “Bring the arts to everyone!”

Jazz Legacy Project
Jazz
Performing notable jazz musicians’ music, bringing back music of a bygone era, and telling the stories of jazz-greats in between is a dynamic way to be both entertained and educated about the influence cultural shifts in America had on jazz and the influence jazz had on music. This performance opens a new world for listeners.

Saint of Soldiers
Bluegrass
Pollo Loco was originally scheduled for January, but a current medical situation prevents them from performing – so we are fortunate to have Saint of Soldiers deliver our January event! Season tickets naming Pollo Loco will apply to Saint of Soldiers.
And – we will be having a Cowboy Hat Contest with a $50 prize for the winner! More about that later.
