Join Crystal Bueckert, owner and lead designer at the design firm Bldg Studio Inc., for a tour of the historic Caswell Bus Barns building. Learn more about the exciting transformation of this space into a vibrant new arts and theater facility.

The adaptive re-use mixed use project aims to transform an existing structure into a vibrant and dynamic arts and cultural hub that fosters artistic creativity, community engagement, and economic vitality. The project seeks to create a synergy between various artistic disciplines, providing a space for artists to work, exhibit, and perform while inviting the public to engage with and appreciate art. This presentation will explore the challenges of adaptive re-use buildings, rezoning, and government funding as it relates to non-profit arts organizations and the pursuit of ownership and stability.

The tour will last 30-45 minutes and the presentation will last 30 minutes followed by a Q&A.
Meet in front of the Persephone Theatre at 14:30 to walk as a group to the location.
Maximum number of participants: 15
