Revitalizing Pine Bluff with The ARTSpace on Main…

On February 10, 2020, the Arts and Science Center for Southeast Arkansas (ASC) held a wall breaking ceremony to celebrate the beginning of construction on The ARTSpace on Main.

Located at 623 S. Main St. in Pine Bluff, The ARTSpace will be housed in a newly renovated historic building next to it’s primary location at 701 S. Main St.

The exciting new facility will feature a gallery for area artists to show and sell work. There will also be a space for art and dance classes, a maker-space, a pottery studio, and an outside “ART Yard” for projects and events.

The much anticipated project is scheduled for completion in August of 2020 and will be another great milestone in the revitalization of Pine Bluff.

Pine Bluff Main Library Learning Stairs

Pine Bluff Main Library Learning Stairs

We are all very excited to see the new “Learning Stairs” being constructed!

Learning Stairs are a new architectural design that will provide a place for students to grab a book and read a few chapters in a comfortable, safe environment or to catch up on homework.  It can also be used for impromptu gatherings or as a teaching space.

 

The “Learning Stairs” will be available to anyone, of any age, who wants to expand their mind or escape into another world through reading at the new Pine Bluff Main Library.
