ArtLab Forward | Redesign Project

You’re invited for a special fundraiser for the ArtLab Forward: Redesign Project, a celebration of the community art making space for all on March 24 from 4-6 pm at Main Street Market in downtown Rockland. For more than a decade, CMCA’s ArtLab has been a place where creativity comes alive. It’s where families make art together, adults reconnect with their creative spark, and visitors of all ages explore, experiment, and imagine—often for the very first time.

Now, we invite you to help us reimagine the ArtLab for the future.

Hosting dozens of classes each month and welcoming thousands of visitors every year, the 10-year-old ArtLab is ready for a much-needed renovation. This opportunity will allow us to upgrade the space with ADA improvements, increased accessibility, and enhanced tools to meet growing demand—ensuring everyone can fully participate in the creative experience.

This renovation is about more than walls and tables. It’s about preserving a beloved free community resource and building a legacy of lifelong creatives.
