The Art Center in downtown Brownwood will re-open Saturday, July 10, as part of the July Jam Festival at Pat Coursey Park.
“Art, Music, People” (AMP) is a traditional Art Center event combining art exhibits, open-mic music and an opportunity to mingle and socialize. The Center has been closed since February after the historic freeze broke a water pipe in the attic and flooded the Center.
Repairs and renovations to the historic building at at 215 Fisk Ave. are almost complete and the July Jam festival seemed the perfect time for a “soft” opening at the Center.
“What a year! We made it through the pandemic,” said Craig Seger, president of the Brownwood Art Association, “and now we’ve got the Art Center ready to open again. I think people are going to be very impressed with the changes to the Center and all the upcoming events.”
