To Build a Legacy (PDF)
In the past five years, the Cultural Center has served over 65,000 people through art programs, classes, exhibits, entertainment and by acting as a well-equipped, well-staffed, and accessible venue for community events of all kinds.
In 2011 alone, the Cultural Center of Cape Cod hosted or served as a venue for 856 uses (not including over 80 exhibits), many of them happening simultaneously, all of them important to the community. The number and scope of programs at the Cultural Center prove the need for expansion.
The current project, to create and equip a new educational wing on the site of the old Owl Club building, will cost up to $1.5 million. This will be an environmentally friendly, historically respectful facility with many resources for a wide range of ages, interests, and abilities. It will feature many studios: recording, pottery, photography, painting, and writing. Plus classrooms, space for exhibitions and rehearsals, a culinary arts center, a performance hall, and more.
Since June 2010, the Cultural Center has raised $800,000. Its plans for raising the remaining funds range from a traditional capital campaign to ongoing special events and creative efforts involving the large family of artists we support.
