Cultural Arts Center Dighton

Dighton, Kansas is oddly enough both the center of and the edge of the known universe. It is simultaniously somewhere and  nowhere. There is not enough sting in my theory to explain – just trust me.

Burroughs, Kerouac and Ginsberg descended here on trips to Denver from Wichita. It is the perfect pee  stop and had what was at the time a marvelous new glistening service station – gas, goodies and a change to stretch. And as you drive the drag in Dighton, you can still feel the heat and heartache that drafts behind in the vaccuum left by their departure.

It is for this reason we need a cultural arts center. Both to pay tribute and to fill the void. And what better place to share the arts than in a church. Alices Restaurant meets the Academy of Saint Bruno – serving God and setting people free.
