Hubbard Hall in Cambridge is undergoing a revitalization with the goal of reaching more members of the community and visitors to the area.<\/p>\n

What operated at one time as solely an opera house, has now become a full-service center for the arts, performance programs, a cultural center, and now a welcome center for the over 36,000 people who visit each year.<\/p>\n

Director David Snider said the renovation of the space has focused on changing out the Village Store on the first floor and replacing it with a welcome center.<\/p>\n

“The retail model was struggling, so we were able to create a beautiful space that we hope will create a combination of the arts and community,” said Snider.
\nWhen faced with the decision about closing the retail portion of the center, Snider said he struggled because the shop houses merchandise that reflects the beauty of the center. He said changing the space to a Welcome Center has made it feel as though it is not such a loss.<\/p>\n

“We are excited about the possibilities that we will be able to develop. Of course, there are those who have mourned the loss of the retail part, but we expected an initial mix of reactions,” said Snider.<\/p>\n

Opening as a nonprofit in 1978, the center has built through the years dozens of weekly programs and workshops, a critically-acclaimed resident theater and opera company, a popular dance and movement arts program, a village store and art gallery. The Welcome Center at Hubbard Hall will provide information on programs and performances, as well as village maps and other tourist information.<\/p>\n

It will include an expanded visual arts studio space, performance space, box office and lobby area.<\/p>\n

There is currently an “end of an era sale” that will run through July. Snider said this will allow the center to phase out some merchandise while they transition.<\/p>\n
