Coming in 2025: The Cultural Heritage Hub
Cultural Heritage Hub Groundbreaking
Sunday, June 9 | 5-7 PM
You are invited to celebrate the first capital expansion of Sandy Spring Museum since 2007. With much fanfare and excitement, help us break ground for the new Cultural Heritage Hub that will serve regional traditional artists and organizations that do not have their own space in which to rehearse, create, meet, or perform. This indoor space with an outdoor pavilion will serve the entire community by bringing creative energy and excitement, along with more opportunities to build community and meet new people.
Enjoy a live performance of traditional Polynesian music and dance from Meki’s Tamure Polynesian Arts Group. There will be delicious foods and drinks from local vendors: Elder Pine Brewery, Puerto Rico Distillery, Amano Real Fruit, Kuks Tribute Cuisine, and Cocina El Jefe.
Your donation goes directly towards making the Cultural Heritage Hub the community’s new favorite place to gather.
A Vibrant New Space for Folk Artists and the Community
Construction of the Cultural Heritage Hub, a 1700 square foot expansion dedicated to serving folk artists who represent Montgomery County’s rich cultural heritage, will commence in 2024.
Imagine a place where your artistry is not just welcomed but celebrated. A space that's open 24/7, tailored to your creative needs. Rehearsal spaces, performance stages, and a supportive environment for grant writing, digital projects, and more. The Cultural Heritage Hub is more than just a physical space; it is a vibrant center for artistic collaboration and cultural exchange. It represents our dedication to supporting and sharing the cultural heritage of everyone who calls Montgomery County home.
What the Cultural Heritage Hub Offers
Creative and Rehearsal Spaces: Tailored to meet the needs of folk artists, the space is ideal for rehearsals, performances, and artistic gatherings, available at no cost.
Accessibility Around the Clock: Recognizing the diverse schedules and needs of artists, the Cultural Heritage Hub will be accessible 24-hours a day via a secure key-code system, ensuring that creative space is always available.
Outdoor Amphitheater: Complementing the indoor facilities, a new 75-seat amphitheater adjacent to the Cultural Heritage Hub will host a range of performances and events, adding an outdoor dimension to the Museum's cultural offerings.
We eagerly anticipate the completion of this project and the opening of the Cultural Heritage Hub in early 2025. Stay connected for updates. We look forward to welcoming you to a space where culture, community, and creativity come together.
