The Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County will open the A&C Community Meeting Center at Freeman Hall in Doylestown, beginning Sept. 11.
“We are excited to open our doors for arts events, meetings, workshops, and exhibitions. After delays caused by COVID, the lease is signed, and we are preparing the space for the community. Upon the commencement of our first Freeman Hall exhibition, A&C Fall Member Salon Show 2021, we will welcome members and patrons of the arts. Two years in coming, and the time is here,” the council said via email.
The opening of this space is a significant step in the growth of the council bringing together the need to expand to a physical location and the desire to enrich members’ benefits with more activities in a centralized Bucks County space. Located at 181 E. Court St., Freeman Hall provides exhibition space, meeting rooms, and a venue for lectures, workshops, art shares, and more.
Board volunteers, all artists in their own genres, are currently applying their skills to painting and freshening the rooms and installing a gallery hanging system in preparation for the opening on Sept. 11 and the display of member work. Art will also be displayed year-round on hallway and office walls creating a truly member-centered space.
Renovations for the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County’s Community Meeting Center at Freeman Hall are made possible thanks to sponsors: The Ricciardi Brothers Benjamin Moore Paint Store in the Mercer Square Shopping Center in Doylestown; and donors to the 2020 Giving Tuesday fundraising event.
