by Sonja J. Keith
After months of construction and hard work, the Conway Symphony Orchestra Guild Designer House will kick off this week.
“Designers and their teams have donated time and materials over many months to create a show house reflecting diverse styles and inviting visitors into the charms of a Craftsman bungalow,” said designer house co-chair Julie Adkisson.
The house will be open for tours beginning Friday, Oct. 17, and run through Saturday, Oct. 25, at 1120 Reynolds Ave. at The Village at Hendrix. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday.
“This project benefits the exceptional Conway Symphony Orchestra, which not only offers wonderful concert experiences, but also provides educational outreach programs including ‘CSO in the Classroom,’ children’s concerts and interactive encounters with musicians, dancers and storytellers to bring the music to life for young learners,” said Lindsay Henderson, designer house co-chair.
A special event – The Finale – is planned to cap off the designer house from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24. The event is underwritten by Southwestern Energy and will include a tour of the home and an opportunity to meet the designers, with special music by Conway Symphony Orchestra ensembles.
