The Dahl's development director says this gives the artists a chance to develop a fan base, as well as a new venue to perform at. Development Director Pepper Massey says, "I think part of the challenge that many communities have, I don't think we're unique, that there are a lot of emerging artists and they don't have a place to be seen, they don't have a place to be heard, this would hopefully be a launching pad for them just to give them some exposure and help them step up on their way to greatness."  Local artists will perform every Friday night at the Dahl Arts Center it is free to attend.
