The Collingwood Arts Center ended its residency program in February after this winter’s harsh conditions caused damage that rendered the old building uninhabitable. The Center wants to eventually bring the residency program back, but it is looking for help from the community through the “Save Our CAC” campaign. The campaign is a request for help in the form of donations (the goal is $15,000), volunteering and a series of sponsored events. Anyone interested in cleaning, painting and repairing the CAC should attend volunteer work days from 9am-2pm on two upcoming Saturdays: March 15 and April 5. The Center also is looking for basic cleaning and painting supplies.
