HUNTINGTON BEACH : Local Leaders View Site of Art Center
Representatives from the city government and local art organizations and business leaders met this week to survey the future site of the Huntington Beach Art Center.
The 11,000-square-foot building at 538 Main St. was bought by the city in 1988 for $750,000 from Southern California Edison Co., which had used it for business offices. The art center will be the inland anchor of the city’s Main-Pier area development center.
At an open house ceremony, Councilman Peter M. Green thanked the FHP medical group, which on Tuesday gave a $75,000 check to the Huntington Beach Art Center Foundation, the fund-raising arm of the center.
The center is scheduled to open in spring, 1991, and will include three galleries covering 4,000 square feet of exhibition space, a performance room, a studio and a bookstore. The renovation of the building is expected to cost about $750,000, bringing the total cost of setting up the center to about $1.5 million.
