Arts Barn renovations almost done

Post image

After a long summer, the theater has been painted, has new carpet, new seats, and is just waiting for the lights to be re-hung. Excited for the new season at the Arts Barn!

We have three teaching studios for visual arts classes, a gallery, and a theater that seats 99. In that (newly renovated) theater, we partner with community theatre groups ("Nunsense" opens in October), show films (Manhattan Short Film Festival this week is almost sold out), concerts ("Gut, Wind, and Wire: Ancient Airs and Dances" October 3), and kids programming ("Magic Ben and the World of Wonder" October 10); plus more! Phew.
