Ribbon cutting ceremony held to celebrate the reopening of the Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center

Carlsbad cultural hub New Village Arts presented an exclusive ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the reopening of the newly-appointed Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center, the first arts center in the country to be named after a Black woman in the past 50 years. Renovations elevate the theater-focused space into a bonafide arts center with expanded offerings and capabilities for performances and education. Major upgrades include a new vibrant exterior, the Sahm Family Arts Education Center, naming of the Conrad Prebys Theatre, a one-of-a-kind live performance venue, expanded lobby space including the Patrick Farley Slainte! Bar, and more.
