Ten years ago, many of you encouraged us to form The Bridge at 211 to keep this landmark from being converted into offices or residential condos. 

 

The vision was to preserve more than a building, but an architectural gem whose walls contain a rich repository of Salem’s history and lore along with stories waiting to be told. For those of you who weren’t in on those early conversations - our recent adaptive reuse study confirms that the active arts and arts education facility we aim to create will:

​

• enhance downtown development

• align with “Imagine Salem” as a bricks and mortar project buoyed up by market demand

• support the city’s sense of community and authenticity

• provide a significant positive impact with new programming opportunities

• embrace the community’s diversity

• help sustain local businesses

• provide employment opportunities

• and play a role in entertaining the influx of visitors every fall.

 

We appreciate any gift, no matter the amount! Whether you are making a first-time gift to us, or continuing your generosity, your donation will help us open our doors again with new purpose ... as a place where people can create, learn, and be inspired for the next 200 years and beyond.
