2012

Bids for the Artist studios were received, compiled and reviewed.
Construction commences on the Artist studios located on the 3rd floor rear wing of the Center and takes most of the year to complete.
The unfinished 3rd floor space was leased out to a community event and the attendance and feedback of the space was overwhelming. Based on these comments, the Board decided that this future space (which was being reserved for various conference rooms) would be designed and planned for large community events and also gallery space for the Artist’s works. This change in direction would also help to provide an income for the Center while at the same time promote the Center to the Public.
Design commences for the Entertainment space and various concepts were developed and reviewed with the Artist and the Board of Directors.
It was decided to construct this Entertainment space in phases as it was very extensive and involved lead based paint abatement, new heating and cooling systems, new bathrooms, new bar / service area, sound system, catering kitchen, electrical service upgrades, etc.
The phased design was nearly complete by year end.
