Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Program
Watch Trailer
Lee Daniels' The Butler  
Monday, January 19, 1 pm
(2013; PG-13; 132 mins)
The Carroll County Arts Council has a tradition of presenting thought-provoking programs in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This year, we present Lee Daniels' The Butler, which tells the story of Cecil Gaines, a White House butler who served seven American presidents over three decades. The film traces the dramatic changes that swept American society during this time, from the civil rights movement to Vietnam and beyond, and how those changes affected this man's life and family.   

Our special guest will be KIND snacks who will be giving out free samples
which is #kindawesome! 


$6 Adults / $5 CCAC Members, 18 & Under, Seniors 60+

As this is a day of service, CCAC is offering FREE admission to anyone who has volunteered for a non-profit organization during the past year.

Common Ground on the Hill
Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen      
NEW DATE! Saturday, January 31, 8 pm

FS&DK's newest release on Compass Records, COLD SPELL was recently nominated for a Grammy - BEST BLUEGRASS ALBUM!

Since Frank Solivan left the cold climes of Alaska for the bluegrass hotbed of Washington, D.C., he's built a reputation as a monster mandolinist - and become a major festival attraction with his band, Dirty Kitchen. Solivan and banjoist Mike Munford (2013 IBMA Banjo Player of the Year), guitarist Chris Luquette (IBMA Instrumentalist of the Year Momentum Award winner) and doghouse bassist Dan Booth simmer a bluegrass/newgrass stew from instrumental, vocal and songwriting skills so hot, they earned a three-peat 2012, 2013 and 2014 Best Bluegrass Band honors from the Washington Area Music Association. These individually brilliant musicians have combined their vocal and songwriting skills to make their new album, Cold Spell, into the perfect progressive album filled with instrumental virtuosity.
