Capital Project
Join us for the Groundbreaking!
Sunday, June 9 from 5 – 7pm
Donate to register.
You are invited to celebrate the first capital expansion of Sandy Spring Museum since 2007. With much fanfare and excitement, help us break ground for the new Cultural Heritage Hub that will serve regional traditional artists and organizations that do not have their own space in which to rehearse, create, meet, or perform. This indoor space with an outdoor pavilion will serve the entire community by bringing creative energy and excitement, along with more opportunities to build community and meet new people.
Enjoy a live performance of traditional Polynesian music and dance from Meki’s Tamure Polynesian Arts Group, as well as beer on tap, the most amazing popsicles from Amano Real Fruit (grown-up and kid versions available) and food trucks.
Your donation goes directly towards making the Cultural Heritage Hub the community’s new favorite place to gather.
