The Kimball Art Center's move from Old Town to its temporary digs at Bonanza Park is going as planned.
Although the grand opening is scheduled for Oct. 24, the staff and art teachers will begin offering art classes in the new space on Monday, Oct. 19, according to Kathy Kennedy, the KAC managing director.
"We will begin moving the classroom equipment the weekend prior, so we will balance teaching and moving that week," Kennedy said when The Park Record took a tour of the new space last week. "The classrooms in the new building are located upstairs and downstairs and are all similar or larger in area than the classroom spaces in the current art center."
