The center is set to undergo a major renovation -- along with the building its connected to at 304 Government Street. The multi-million dollar job is expected to take years. While the non-profit museum will have to close during the renovations -- don’t expect the art to stop. “What we found on projects like this is that it expands the whole community’s imagination -- it helps transform a space that we might be embarrassed about as a community because of blight or neglect into something where new things are possible and it re-energizes development and community energy,” said Elliott.

They’re planning on three years of construction -- but preparing for up to five years. The museum is set to close November 1st -- and they’ll launch new program with first major exhibition in January 2025.
