Central Hall: A Beacon of Community and Culture

We are thrilled to announce that Central Hall has been prominently featured in the Dunkirk Observer’s edition dated May 11, 2024.

This marks a significant milestone in our journey to revitalize the former Adams Art Gallery into a vibrant community space and youth center.

The Dunkirk Observer highlighted the ongoing efforts and the vision behind the transformation of this historic landmark. The article, titled “Effort to reopen art gallery site returns,” sheds light on the fundraising drive and the dedicated team working tirelessly to bring this project to fruition.

Central Hall is envisioned as a multi-purpose space that will offer public programming, event and rental services, and youth development. It’s a project that resonates with the heart of Dunkirk, aiming to renovate a historic building into a hub of activity and growth.

The Observer’s feature also touches upon the financial aspects of the project, including the New York State Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) mandate goal of $150,000 in matching funds. This is a crucial step towards securing the anticipated $1.3 million for Phase 1 renovations.

As we look forward to weddings, performances, and more, all hosted in one magnificent location, we remain committed to our community. Our operations may be temporarily on hold, but our commitment to Dunkirk’s future is stronger than ever.
