We do it SatUf n i i i i l placed on top of the entrance as part of the gable raising at Glhp (Ear lini $30,000 ArtsCenter By JOANNE GORDON ArtsFeatures Editor The ArtsCenter raised a 1,500 pound steel gable above the" entrance to the new center located at 300 East Main St. in Carrboro last Wednesday to herald a $30,000 gift from Burroughs Well come Co. The Gable was raised as a symbol and trademark of Arts Center and to announce the Bur roughs Wellcome gift, which is the largest donation to ArtsCenter. "The Burroughs Wellcome gift came at a good time . . . (the gable raising) really picked up spirits around here," said Betts Wilson, communications coordinator of ArtsCenter. With the Burroughs Wellcome gift, ArtsCenter is within $50,000 of reaching a challenge issued in late March by an anonymous donor. By the end of this month, if ArtsCenter raises these funds, the donor will donate another $75,000 to the completion of the facility. The 21,000-square-foot Arts Center facility was scheduled to open by June, but due to insuf ficient funds the construction was slowed and the opening postponed until July. According to Wilson, the Arts Center building will probably not be completely finished when the center opens in July, but ArtsCen ter officials did not want to wait any longer.

In 1974 the ArtSchool was founded "by a group of local artists who felt the need for a community center which would encourage artistic development, experimentation and collaboration, and to provide a focus for cultural activities. As interest grew, ArtSchool expanded to meet the commun ity's needs. In 1976, ArtSchool moved from a loft in Carrboro to the Carr Mill Mall. By 1982, it was a thriving center for visual, literary and performing arts. As the center developed, the name changed. In 1985, ArtSchool added the descriptive name Center for Visual and Performing Arts to accurately reflect its programs. In 1986, larger audiences, an increasing number of volunteers and continued support from the community underscored the need for a larger facility. ArtSchool began a campaign to raise $936,000 for operation, renova tions and construction of the new facility. With the new facility, Art School will officially become the ArtsCenter for Visual, Performing and Literary Arts. The name "ArtSchool" will refer to the educational programs of ArtsCenter. In keeping with its original purpose, ArtsCenter is community focused.
