Wilcox Foundation
Benefiting The Community

The Artsco Foundation

The PCAC is a proud recipient of THREE facility improvement grants by the Margaret Dunning Foundation, the Wilcox Foundation and Artsco Foundation.
The first was awarded by the Margaret Dunning Foundation in 2019 to update our event kitchen and lighting. The second, awarded
at the end of 2020, also by the MDF provided funding for lobby and art gallery renovations. Check out the completed spaces here and then stop in for an in person visit. 

In 2022, we applied for exterior parking lot and painting funding. Three foundations granted the PCAC their financial support, The Margaret Dunning, Wilcox and Artsco Foundations!

The gallery lighting is beautiful! Thank you to our amazing contractors who stayed on time and budget to re-energize our spaces! This 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 shows off the true colors in gallery exhibit pieces; performance lights were 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.
