The growth of the the Arts community has added such value and enjoyment to our Apex town. The recent opening of the Halle Cultural Arts Center was an event to enjoy. The building, originally built in 1900, was beautifully renovated to include a 140 seat theatre, galleries and classrooms. The opening day was celebrated with free childrens acting classes, art classes, and several performances to entertain the guests. There are art classes planned in the classroom areas. The building is beautifully restored with a blend of historic charm and modern architecture. You would never guess of it's previous uses as a prison and as the former town hall. The Apex Arts Council www.apexarts.org/ is hosting a meeting in March to discuss starting a local theater group.
Every Spring, Apex also hosts a Salem Street Arts Festival. The main street in the Historic downtown area is closed off to traffic, and local visual artists, performing artists and food vendors set up to display and sell their wares. At the end is a kid zone with rides, kids performers and pony rides. The downtown merchants also participate in this event.
Our downtown merchants include several artisits, among them are The Red Canvas Gallery and Out of the Kiln. The Red Canvas Gallery sells original paintings and offers art instruction. Out of the Kiln sells various pottery, art glass and other artworks -plus offers pottery and glass art studio classes. Our downtown Restaurants support the local artists by displaying and selling their artworks.
Apex is really a must see community for the art lover in you.
