The Tassel Performing Arts Center of Phelps County
The Tassel Performing Arts Center of Phelps County is a stunning reminder that wonderful things can happen when people choose to work together. What began as a dream in the 1970's has become a reality through the collaborative efforts of area citizens, the Phelps County Community Foundation and Holdrege Public Schools. Gifted to Holdrege Public Schools by the Phelps County Community Foundation in 1999, The Tassel Performing Arts Center is a magnet for cultural attractions in greater Nebraska.
The Tassel Coordination Council, Inc.
The Tassel Coordination Council, Inc., (a volunteer organization) manages The Tassel facility, in cooperation with the Holdrege Public Schools, for the purposes of the promotion and support of the graphic and performing arts. Owned and maintained by Holdrege Public Schools, the facility is available for use by all groups or individuals interested in scheduling an event.
The Mission of the Tassel Coordination Council is to expand awareness and appreciation of the arts by providing opportunities to experience quality cultural, educational, social, and entertaining events.
The Tassel Coordination Council strives to promote better understanding of the world and each other through the arts because the Council believes that the arts have the power to inform, educate, entertain, energize and change lives. Through events scheduled at The Tassel--a variety of education and outreach programs, new works, special projects, and social activities--the council will expand awareness of and appreciation for the arts throughout the community and surrounding area.
Arts programs enhance students' academic skills and character education, help to cultivate aesthetic decision making, and encourage a lifelong appreciation for the arts. Through opportunities for participation, lifelong learning, and programs that bring artists and audiences together beyond the stage, the Tassel Coordination Council will share the positive influence of the performing arts with the people of Phelps County, Nebraska, and beyond. The goal of The Tassel is to serve as a model of creative energy and artistic achievement and a resource for community collaborations and support.
