Grand (Re)Opening, Ribbon-Cutting, and Ice Cream Social
📅 Sunday, August 24, 2025
🕓 4:00 PM
📍 Perkins Art & Research Center, 98 High Street, Newburyport (enter through Fruit Street gate)
The historic 1808 Perkins building has lived many lives—and now it begins an exciting new chapter! You’re invited to join us as we celebrate its grand (re)opening as the Perkins Art & Research Center.
Come explore three floors of treasures, including our brand-new archive, library, and compact art storage spaces. Raise a glass at the official ribbon-cutting, enjoy ice cream and sweet treats, and tour the beautifully preserved and repurposed interior. This is your chance to see how history, art, and community come together under one roof.
Whether you’re a longtime supporter or a curious newcomer, come learn how you can be part of the future of Perkins. Bring a friend, make a memory, and celebrate a local landmark reborn!
🎟️ Free (donations are welcome), and open to the public – registration encouraged
