Monarch Creative Arts and Community Center (MCACC) will host "Setting with the Sun," a community event scheduled Friday, Oct. 18, from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m., at the First Bank Stage outside the Sunrise Theater, at 250 N.W. Broad St., in Southern Pines. This free event aims to raise awareness about the center's programs, foster community connection, and share the creative work of the people supported at MCACC.

Strategically scheduled at a location in the heart of downtown Southern Pines, this event seeks to engage residents and visitors alike, introducing them to MCACC's mission while building a network of supporters, potential donors and volunteers. With live music by Matt Sunderlin, a pottery sale showcasing creations by MCACC participants, a raffle and informative displays about Monarch, the event promises to capture the interest of passersby.
