The Buttonwood Tree Performing Arts Center
A Community Performing Arts Center for Live Music and Creativity For Over 35 Years!
About Us
The Buttonwood Tree’s mission is to uplift, inspire, educate, and enrich lives through artistic and cultural programming, while supporting the creative endeavors of emerging and established artists.
Based at 605 Main St. in Middletown, CT, The Buttonwood Tree benefits from a location in the central business district which it helps to energize. TBT offers music, art, literature, poetry and dance programs, contests, classes, online events, open microphone sessions and many partnership presentations. We also present projects curated from outside the organization, and we rent space for rehearsals and events. This plan has been written to offer an overview of the organization and show our preparation for future expanded activity.
Buttonwood Tree Documentary
Featured Artist of the Month
The Buttonwood Tree Performing Arts Center is proud to present the work of Middletown-based artist Janna Peruta. A self-taught creator and mother of two, Janna blends photography, poetry, and mixed media to explore the essential role of creativity in everyday life. Her art reflects inspiration from motherhood and the world around her, while also encouraging others to discover their own artistic voice.
Visit The Buttonwood Tree throughout December and January to experience her exhibit. Join us for a special reception here on Sunday, December 28th, 2:00 – 4:00 pm.
Meet the artist, enjoy her work, and connect with our community through the power of art.
Many thanks to our generous supporters who help us to continuously provide arts & culture to the Middletown community:
