Nearly a year after breaking ground, the ArtsCenter officially opened its new location in Carrboro on Saturday. The ceremony to welcome the public not only represented the celebration of moving into an upgraded facility, but also the culture of arts and learning the nonprofit has helped foster in the community.
Festivities began at the prior ArtsCenter location: 300 East Main Street, where it’s lived for decades. Staff, community members, and the Paperhand Puppet Intervention performance group gathered outside to lead a parade just around the block to the new location. The giant puppets and drums caught many people’s attention, beckoning them to look toward the white building at the corner of Roberson Street with a yellow and silver roof that has the new The ArtsCenter logo emblazoned on it.
