Big Progress At Celebrate St. James: Phase 1 Of Cultural Arts Center Renovation Nearing Completion

Exciting changes are underway at Celebrate St. James as major renovations bring us closer to the highly anticipated opening of the St. James Community Cultural Arts Center, a future home for creativity, connection, and community.

Phase 1 construction progress highlights include:

  • New roof installation currently underway
  • Stage stabilization with steel support beams now strengthening the second floor
  • Roofing underlayment in place, setting the stage for our new metal roof

This critical first phase has been made possible through a generous matching grant from the RDL Gardiner Foundation and the support of two extraordinary benefactors. Their contributions have been instrumental in helping us preserve and transform this historic space.

Photo highlights include:

  • Roof before & after progress shots

With construction well underway, we’re one step closer to opening our doors to the public. The St. James Community Cultural Arts Center will soon serve as a vibrant hub for performances, exhibits, workshops, and community events.
