Cultural center outlines 2026–27 season and seeks collaboration with Arts & Culture Commission

Tiffany Bergovi, director of the Montgomery County Community College Cultural Center, told the Arts & Culture Commission on March 25 that the center is preparing a varied 2026–27 season and is seeking partnerships with local governments and organizations to broaden outreach.

Bergovi said the center’s assets include a theater and gallery spaces available for campus events and rentals; planned programming for the coming season includes children’s performances, comedy shows, tribute bands and rotating exhibitions. She described rental opportunities and encouraged coordination to ensure promotional materials are accurate.

Commission members discussed several opportunities for collaboration. They considered promoting Cultural Center events through township communications channels, partnering with local businesses for co-promotion, and coordinating volunteer roles to support performances and exhibitions. The commission and Bergovi also discussed the possibility of securing stage time or programming slots at the township’s Community festival.

The commission and the Cultural Center explored program ideas aimed at increasing local participation, including a summer workshop series for adults (drama, dance and music coaching) and a community talent initiative to showcase local performers. No formal agreement or funding decision was recorded in the minutes; the exchange was described as a coordination and information-sharing session intended to identify possible next steps.

The presentation was part of the commission’s regular quarterly meeting; staff noted follow-up would focus on how township communications and Cultural Center schedules could be aligned and how volunteer coordination might be handled.
