We’ve met the match!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community we successfully raised $142,000!
This will be matched by a Cultural Facilities Grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
These funds cover the first phase of construction which will allow us to open the expanded space
(quadruple our current square footage!) to the public. Construction updates to follow soon!
We’re so grateful to our communityfor bringing us this far.
We’re currently fundraising for Phase Two,
which will provide:
Accessibility ramp
ADA compliant bathroom
Interior exhibition walls
Ventilation for printmaking
Dedicated storage space, office, and kitchenette
With this expansion we’ll be able to offer more Creative Youth programming, workshops,
community gatherings and art-making events(like our Winter HooPla!)
