SANDWICH – The Sandwich Arts Alliance will be hosting a Grand Opening Celebration at its new location on Friday, October 27, with an open house from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. located at the Sandwich Historic Town Hall’s former town offices.
The event will include a ribbon cutting ceremony held at 2 p.m. on the building’s portico.
SAA recently relocated to its new headquarters, including an art gallery, classroom space, gift shop, and bookstore.
The Alliance states they cultivate, support, and present visual, performing, and literary arts events and programs, serving the entire Cape Cod community year-round.
This spring, the Town of Sandwich approved a three-year lease opportunity for a portion of its building, geared to house a cultural organization in a vacated 2000 square foot space.
“This is a dream come true for many who have long desired to create a cultural center in the heart of Sandwich Village,” said SAA President Katherine Aubin.
“We’ve been looking for the perfect place for more than 19 months to grow all of our initiatives under one larger roof. Expanding our studio space allows us to better fulfill our mission, attract even more talented instructors, and to support our local artists’ success in their creative endeavors,” Aubin said.
The president of the SAA also said she is excited to have the organization located in the heart of the Glass Town Cultural District, which is one of only two designated cultural districts on Cape Cod.
The group maintains weekly business hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, occasionally opening for evening events and programs, and plans to expand its amount of programming to fill its larger space during the next year.
