The project will transform a vacant storefront and unkempt garden into a vibrant and welcoming arts and cultural center that is open to the public. The center and garden will be ADA-accessible, and programs directed to 50+ adults and veterans. The purposes are to build community and reinvigorate the Main Street corridor.
The Art Center is a powerful local resource offering:
-Two classroom spaces for art and digital education (and other training)
-Two public galleries to highlight regional artists driven by an artists’ co-op
-Two public third spaces for social engagement (indoor and outdoor)
-A gift shop for local art at an affordable price
-Improved all abilities access
-Enhanced digital capabilities expanding engagement with artists, educators, and visitors
-An Audio Video room enabling remote training and meetings
