The WCCMA and Claremont Creative Center‘s partner the The Claremont Development Authority invites you to join us in celebration:

Thursday, December 15th, 2022
3:30 – 5:00 PM
56 & 58 Opera House Square, Claremont NH 03743

The Claremont Development Authority (CDA) and partner-tenant West Claremont Center for Music and the Arts (WCCMA) have been working diligently to bring the long-held dream of converting the historic bank building at 56 Opera House Square into the new CLAREMONT CREATIVE CENTER, an intimate gathering/performance space and home for arts education in the heart of downtown Claremont.

We have much to celebrate: 
a new grant from a major national business and more! 

We’d love to get photos with all who have helped bring this project to this important juncture. Please join us for this photo opportunity and a special announcement outside 56 Opera House Square followed by holiday treats, entertainment provided by the students and artists of West Claremont Center for Music and the Arts, and project updates in the warmth of City Hall. Please join us in celebration of all you and our community have done to make this dream a reality!
