The Heyde Center for the Arts features theater performances; art exhibits; local, regional and international music; dance and much MUCH more. THE CHIPPEWA VALLEY CULTURAL ASSOCIATION (CVCA) WAS FORMED IN 1976 TO ACCOMPLISH TWO MAIN GOALS: (1) TO SAVE THE OLD MCDONELL MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING FROM DESTRUCTION AND RESTORE IT AS A VENUE FOR THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY IN THE CHIPPEWA VALLEY; AND (2) TO PROVIDE A VENUE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL ARTISTS, PERFORMERS, WRITERS AND CREATIVE PRODUCERS TO EXPLORE, GROW AND SHARE THEIR TALENTS WITH OTHERS IN THE REGION AND BEYOND. ADDITIONALLY, THE CVCA SEEKS TO BRING IN GIFTED INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS FROM OUTSIDE THE REGION AS WELL WITH THE VISION OF EXPOSING CHIPPEWA VALLEY RESIDENTS TO THE TALENTS OF PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
