|Very interesting and fun for the family..great laser light shows
They offer different types of classes, shows, tours. Its just a real family friendly place. Schools tend to take field trips to see what shows they have playing.
the pageant was held here, this place is beautiful!
The exhibits are great here and the ambiance is much greater than expected for a rural community. I especially like the live musical performances and the dinner theatre. And the planetarium is on par w/much offerings in much bigger cities.
If you like art, they have a gallery that they are always updating with new artists. They have art for sale as well. There is a gift shop where you can purchase some locally made pieces. They also have a planetarium where you can go to see educational shows as well as " Laser Shows" featuring Pink Floyd, Metallica etc...
This is a really neat place to visit. Great gift shop where you can buy one of a kind items. I love the hand made soaps and artisin bread!
I was so impressed. It is truly something for the community to be proud of it. This is really an excellent way to expand the educational opportunity of the area.
The Renaissance Center has been a real blessing to the Dickson community since 1999, bringing fine arts exhibits, plays & music theater, local offerings from regional universities, etc. It's an amazing facility for a town our size, and I'm told it draws people from 75 miles away for events and classes. On Nov 19, 2013, Clarksville Online reported, "Freed-Hardeman University has reached an agreement with the Jackson Foundation to assume ownership of the Renaissance Center in Dickson, Tennessee, and offer a four-year undergraduate program and graduate degrees on site, the first such program in Dickson’s history...Under the agreement, the current “Renaissance Center” name and mission will remain intact. In addition to offering college courses, Freed-Hardeman will continue to operate the Renaissance Center as a community venue for a variety of activities such as classes, meeting space and performances... The Jackson Foundation created the Renaissance Center in 1999 as part of its mission to inspire excitement about education among both youth and adults. Designed as a fine arts and technology learning center, the facility, which opened in 1999, cost $18 million to build plus $7 million for fixtures, furniture, equipment and technology. The Renaissance Center includes 110,000 square feet of classroom space, conference rooms, film and video production studios, theater areas, offices, and more."
