TEAM: Adams Board

Over the course of the first two years of being open the Adams hosted several events that were organized by outside organizations as well as by our board.  These included a hockey tournament, holiday market, circus cabaret, musical performances, movie series, local art shows, and theater performances.  These local events made the Adams accessible to all and invited the community to participate in the revitalization of Dunkirk’s cultural space.  They were successful in bringing in people of all ages and backgrounds, introducing them to the Adams and continued fundraising and support.  The goal was to create formal relationships with local artists, cultural institutions, the neighboring SUNY that would augment the programming that we could bring in from outside the local community.
