The former co-op building has been a part of the community since 1889. There have been few projects as ambitious as The Gibson Centre for Community Arts and Culture in the town of Alliston’s history. The fact that the community is coming together and volunteering to preserve part of the history of the town shows they have great pride for their heritage.
Supporting and appreciating the arts is an important part of cultural enhancement and is not only the foundation of the organization’s mission statement, but also the reason countless volunteers don’t think twice about devoting their own time and energy to furthering the cause. Numerous renovations were required from installing new windows to restoring the exterior and the original interior woodwork of the building. The plans are designed to expose and enhance the wood and historical elements of the existing building structure.
