Art center to open soon
A new center for performing and visual arts will open in Lawrence, probably in January, Marllyn F. Brown, president of Arts Commission Arts Commission, said yesterday.
Renovation of the Carnegie Library at 9th and Vermont streets begins this week.
In 1802, Andrew Carnegie offered Lawrence a $27,500 grant for the construction of a public library. The city agreed to conditions that the library would be organized under state law as a free public library. Assessments of $2,700 a year were to be made by the city to pay for maintenance.
Carniegie's offer was accepted by city April 7, 1963. The building was completed in October 1964.
Carnegie Library closed Aug. 13, 1972, and the Lawrence Public Library opened Aug. 23, 1972. The older building has been vacant since then.
"The Lawrence community seems quite eager to see the building saved in this effort," Mrs. Jerry Hutchison, vice president of the commission, said.
Funds for the new center will come from many sources. The National Endowment for the Arts and the Kansas Arts Commission recently approved two grants totaling $14,000 for initial stuff salaries and programming. Brown said, the city gave $13,000 in cash that was insurance money collected after a first library last November. Hutchison said
Part of the city funds will be used to pay yearly utility expenses at the center.
A fund-raising drive began this week to collect an additional $35,000 for the renovation and equipment, Brown said. The Lawrence Arts Center will then be permanently supported by memberships and fees.
The center will encourage artistic activities in all of the arts. Programs for next spring and summer will include creative classes, pottery and sculpture classes in weaving, pottery and other crafts, Evans, director of the center, said. Regular classes will be offered later, she said. The center will also some National Endowment funds will support the workshops, Hutchison said.
The center will offer a wide variety of activities to the community. Exhibitions, benefits, concerts and recitals, lectures, dance, drama productions and a puppet theater will be featured. A large performance hall with flexible seating for all kinds of activities will accommodate various audiences, Evans said.
The Lawrence Arts Commission was formed in December 1973. The city appointed its nine members. With the Art Guild and Friends of Music, the Arts
Commission sponsored a proposal to establish a center for the arts.
Lawrence Arts Commission members are Brown; Hutchison and Paul Gray, vice presidents; Jed Davis, professor of speech and drama and secretary of the commission; and George Ryan, treasurer. Commissioners are Jeanne Stump.
assistant professor of art history; Diane Sanders; Mots. Todd Semprey, illustrator-publisher for University Relations, and Michael Cohen, professor of architecture and urban design.
People interested in working at the center of volunteers should contact Evans at 81-291-2000.
