Important Update Regarding Gloria’s

It is with regret mixed with hope I must inform you of our board's decision to close Gloria's 92 Main Street location on July 31st. It was not an easy or quick choice and multiple factors drove this unavoidable conclusion. We have worked very hard advancing Gloria's mission providing music to the community in many ways; but new sound/curfew restrictions and rent increases have added a few too many additional burdens to operating a successful arts center at this already challenging location.

Regret is matched by real hope because we are already well into finding a new, better, and more sustainable location for the Music Room. For the near future, music will continue with limited engagements returning to the Drum & Strum Listening Room at 102 Main Street until we can establish a more suitable location for Gloria's. We have some prospects in this regard, and are excited... stay tuned!

Until then, thank you all for your support, donations, and continued encouragement in our time at 92 Main. The outpouring of love and encouragement at this location are forever now part of the foundation we will build on; they have moved us toward the ultimate success of our mission; and they give us confidence that our days here were well spent. Your questions are welcome, and I am always glad to talk about our work and our plans.

With gratitude and best wishes,
