We are $15,000 away from reaching our Carriage House
Campaign goal. To date $25,000 has been
raised and once fundraising is complete we will begin the final projects to improve
the Carriage House at Perkins Center for the Arts, Moorestown.
Highlights for the planned renovations include:
· A dedicated
seating/dressing area,
· A private
restroom,
· Increased
square footage, · Upgraded
lighting,
· New
specialized dance flooring · A larger sink for our art students
Support this campaign to provide significant renovations and
repairs to the building that has been in continuous use as a dance and
painting
studio for over 36 years. The goal of
the campaign is to provide funds to purchase a furnace (completed) and
separate electrical
system (completed), update the lighting and hardware, install a new
hardwood dance floor, install and make
repairs to windows, enlarge and re-design the restroom on the first
floor, install a larger sink for cleaning art supplies, and improve
physical accessibility. With the help of a
historic preservation specialist, the dance floor will be enlarged and
storage
improved by safely removing a studio wall.
Perkins Center for the Arts will become the first school in
Moorestown with a sprung floor from Harlequin Floors a company recognized as
the world leader in advanced technology flooring for dance, the performing arts
and display. The Perkins Center Carriage
House flooring from Harlequin will be a floating floor system composed of
sprung dance floor panels. Designed for safety and suitable for a range of
dance disciplines, Liberty LatchLoc™ provides the ultimate floor, allowing
performers to concentrate on their art without fear of falling or injury.
It’s been 36 years since the Carriage House has
been renovated. Help us make the space
be a highlight in Moorestown and a studio that will provide a comfortable and
safe environment for all the students (youth and adult) who are part of
“Locally Produced Arts” at Perkins Center for the Arts. Your donation to this campaign and the
purchase of a t-shirt can help us make our plans a reality. Thank you for your support!

I have been supporting this campaign for years and am looking forward to seeing its completion.
This space is so well loved and well used. It deserves this facelift. I can't wait to see it.
I am a student at Perkins and can't wait for the renovations!
