The Arts: Opened in 2002, the Dogwood
Center (www.dogwoodcenter.com)
offers West Michigan a unique entertainment venue not usually found in
less-populated areas such as this county of 44,000. This
state-of-the-art facility features a 400-seat main theatre with additional
performance and meeting space in the flexible theater; however, mere words and
pictures cannot compare to the actual experience of waling inside this newly
completed structure.
