The PCAC is a proud recipient of two facility improvement grants by the Margaret Dunning Foundation. The first was awarded in 2019 to update our event kitchen and lighting. The second, awarded at the end of 2020,
​will fund lobby and art gallery renovations. We will look forward to sharing the completed spaces with you soon!

April 7, 2021....The gallery lighting is beautiful! The new flooring will be installed mid May. Thank you to our amazing contractors who stayed on time and budget to re-energize our spaces! March 16, 2021....The great gallery illumination project continues today with the recessed LED installation...funded by a generous Margaret Dunning Foundation grant! The new lighting plan will save LOTS of energy over the years and provide proper - and dimmable - lighting to be used in zones or together for all the different kinds of events hosted in this beautiful space...The high CRI will show off the true colors in gallery exhibit pieces; performance lights have been moved closer to the stage for Plymouth Uptown Players' rehearsals and Baseline Folk Society's famous open mic nights; and the recessed down lights will help the early morning BNI crew to rise and shine! 

The ladies' room upgrades included new flooring, lighting and mural walls designed and painted by Elizabeth Perakes.
