**Update! New Dawn Arts is trying to meet the matching requirement to accept the Massachusetts Cultural Council Cultural Facilities Fund Grant that we were awarded in the amount of $107,000!***

This campaign is to support New Dawn Arts Center in the purchase and renovation of 84 Main Street, Ashburnham, Massachusetts, into a fully functioning center for the arts, right in your back yard! We have an agreement to purchase the historic building and are working to gather the funds needed. Now is your chance to make a huge impact!

The 501(c)(3) nonprofit mission of New Dawn Arts Center, Inc. is to strive to enliven and unite the community around the arts through programming that makes arts education, appreciation, practice, and presentation accessible and available to our greater region. This is a volunteer-run organization, funded primarily through grants and donations.

Welcome to your local community center with a focus on arts appreciation. We host and collaborate with other nonprofits to provide programming for kids and adults, including community theater, live music, and performance. We have painting, drawing, music, and writing workshops and provide a home for groups and clubs to gather. We strive for participation with community art projects and also bring public art like murals and sculptures to our community. We have two ongoing galleries and semi-annual art-markets to share the work of local artists and students.

Funds gathered will be used to acquire the building from the congregation without needing a mortgage, to update the building to meet accessibility requirements for Massachusetts, and to renovate the spaces into classrooms, galleries, gathering spaces, and a performance hall. The look and feel of the building will be modernized, while respecting the former uses and history of the building and grounds.
