July 2025 Songwriters Showcase shares the original music of regional singer songwriter Megan Bee
Bee writes with an unquenchable wanderlust and a deep love for the land. Her music is a blend of distinctly homespun vocals, acoustic simplicity, yearning soulfulness, and winsome storytelling. She bases in the rolling hills of Athens, Ohio and draws influence from the collision of Appalachian folk and modern songwriting. Learn more at https://meganbeemusic.com/
The Showcase will be held outdoors, weather permitting. Otherwise held in the performance space at the Galena Center for the Arts. Refreshments will be available. This event is free and open to the public, donations are warmly appreciated and help support future programming.

As World War II rages on, Jack (a dedicated military doctor on the front lines) and Louise (an aspiring actress chasing her dreams) meet not in person, but through a series of heartfelt letters.
Their correspondence becomes a lifeline in this heartwarming and humorous tale—and reminds us that some of the strongest bonds are forged without ever touching hands.
Tickets: Adults $23

Stop by the Center to meet Galena artist Reigne Adrian.
Adrian holds a bachelor’s degree in studio art from Iowa State University. Having grown up in a small rural town, most of her time was spent running through the woods and playing in creek beds or ponds. A fascination with the natural world was instilled from a young age.
Reigne’s artwork takes inspiration from a life surrounded by plants and animals, rendering the small details that make up the larger picture. Reigne’s goal as an artist is to inspire a fascination with and an appreciation for nature.
