The Old Art Building (OAB) in Leland finalized the purchase of riverfront property adjacent to its facilities on July 31, reaching its first milestone to extend its campus with 280 feet of shoreline on the Leland River as well as adding signifi cant green space.
Now, the OAB is embarking on its public phase of a capital campaign to further fund the purchase and ultimate extension of the art center’s existing campus.
“This next phase is really taking the input that we’ve gotten from community members thus far through the conversations that we’ve had as we’ve been meeting with people through the quiet phase,” said Kerry Satterwhite, OAB board president. “Now we look at the whole picture of the two pieces of property that we now sort of see as a campus, the historical art building and the new property, and how they will work together and compliment each other.”
