Hardy Hall undergoes renovations
MANISTEE — Manistee’s historic Ramsdell Regional Center for the Arts is undergoing renovations in Hardy Hall this spring, to create a modern gallery for artists to better display their creations.
Renovations began this week with the help of Manistee Habitat for Humanity, which volunteered some workers to get the job done.
Bill Hattendorf, who is on the RRCA board of directors, said the project is being completed in response to the community of artists who provided feedback on how Hardy Hall could be improved. Hattendorf said some artists, in the past, were apprehensive to show their work at the RRCA for various reasons.
However, he said the RRCA board is excited to finally make this dream a reality.
