A Message from Stan Smith, Board President

Dear Members,

If you couldn’t attend the Annual General Meeting of the Membership last week, let me give you a short synopsis.

The Art Center and the Performing Arts and Conference Center are now very close to passing the halfway mark on construction.  It is so exciting to know that they will be finished sometime this fall!

Teal Construction started site work on April 5th of last year. Like a well-choreographed play, the slabs were poured, and the masons started raising the concrete block walls and then right on cue the iron workers, plumbers and electricians all came in at their assigned times. Currently they are finishing 13 roof light monitors (sky lights) that face due North so that the roof system can be installed- the first step to having the buildings dried in. Over the next two months the exterior walls will continue to be installed along with the numerous windows which will bring in an abundance of natural light to the buildings.

In March we will see exterior hardscape beginning with walkways, ramps and retaining walls. Paving will also start not only at the Art Center but also at the Art Center parking lot a block away, which will be used for overflow and event parking during large events.

I hope to see you at The Spring Art Fair on March 26th and 27th.

Thank you for being an active member of the Art Center! 

Stan Smith,
President
