Lumberyard Arts Center

The Lunberyard Arts Center in downtown Baldwin City is a beautifully restored building that will be host to art events, artists, and performers for years to come. Phase I of the restoration project was completed in 2009. Fund raising continues toward the goal of completion of Phase II, which will add a 184 seat theater in the back half of the building. Grants are being sought and orders for commemorative bricks are still being taken. Fundraisers will continue to take place, not only to generate funds for construction of Phase II, but to cover necessary expenses such as the gas bill, office supplies, insurance and taxes, etc. Mission: To preserve a local landmark, offering our community a unique gathering place for cultural, educational and social use. To promote a better understanding and appreciation for the visual, performing, literary and heritage arts. To create a sense of community ownership through the renovation process. To contribute to the revitalization of downtown Baldwin City.
