The Arts Annex has been involved in so many beautiful celebrations. Our unique venue offers everything needed to create your perfect event - a charming setting for your party, no matter how simple or elaborate your plans.  The hall is an elegant and affordable alternative for family gatherings, parties, music recitals and reunions.   Catering packages are available through the Annex or you may choose to make your own catering arrangements.  Liquor and bartenders are also available upon request.


The first floor is an event hall and banquet facility to host your special occasion.   Its spiral staircase, stained glass skylight, original beamed and tin ceilings, fireplace and French doors open to your guests an intimate and inviting atmosphere.   

The second floor, approximately 4,500 sq feet, includes two studios, and is home to Generations Dance, a program for talented and committed ballet and modern dance students, generationsdance.com.  

The Arts Annex, built in 1926 served as home to the Elks BPOE Lodge #1488 for more than 75 years, from 1926 through 2000.  The building was purchased in 2002, then restored to its original beauty. 


These are just some of the unique features of this very special and historical building.
