Grand opening ceremony for Crest Arts Pavilion set for Friday, June 16th


PRESS RELEASE

WILDWOOD CREST - The Borough of Wildwood Crest will host a grand opening ceremony for its new Crest Arts Pavilion on Friday, June 16 at 5 pm. The public is welcome to attend.

The Crest Arts Pavilion is located at 6301 Ocean Avenue (Ocean Avenue & Wisteria Road).

The Crest Arts Pavilion has been created through a renovation project of the previous Wildwood Crest library building. The building will serve as the hub of artistic activities in Wildwood Crest, with many programs and activities planned for the future.

In addition, the Crest Arts Pavilion also serves as Wildwood Crest's new tourism information center and as the site of sales of official borough merchandise. There is also a lease opportunity for a small cafe.

A "soft opening" of the Crest Arts Pavilion building was held in late March, when entries into the Wildwood Crest Creative Arts Council's Cape May County art competition were displayed and winners were announced. The building has been open daily since May 1.

Renovations were partly funded by a DCA Small Cities grant. The borough has also applied for funding through the Cape May County Open Space program to aid with work toward further site improvements and landscaping that is set to begin in the fall.

Light refreshments will be served. No registration is necessary to attend the event.

For more information, call 609-522-0221 or 609-523-0202.
