The Kirkland Art Center (KAC) received a $50,000 grant it will use to complete the renovation of its dance studio with state-of-the-art flooring and a heating/cooling system. These renovations will allow the art center to maintain dance as a core component of the arts.

We’re looking forward to welcoming dancers, young and old, back to the KAC soon.”
