Tannery Pond Center outlines growth, grant strategy and $78,000 repair grant pending
Summary
Tannery Pond Center leaders told the Johnsburg board they mounted year-round arts and cultural programming in 2024, raised nearly $107,000 in donations and sought a $78,000 capital grant to repair town-owned concrete elements; presenters emphasized the center's role in the town's four-season economy.
Miriam Deutsch, president of the Tannery Pond Center Board of Trustees, presented the organization's annual report and thanked the town for a cooperative lease that enables program delivery and eligibility for capital grants. "On behalf of the board members and staff at Tannery Pond, I want to express our appreciation and gratitude for our ongoing partnership with the Town of Johnsburg," she said.
Executive Director Camice Murray highlighted 2024 programming numbers — 10 gallery exhibits, 17 concerts, several theater performances and an Indigenous festival series that attracted about 1,200 attendees — and detailed revenue sources: grants, donations and building-use fees. Donna (presenter) said grants in 2024 totaled $44,049 while donations were nearly $107,000, and presenters noted a pending $78,000 grant to repair concrete the town is responsible for; final contracting and state-level procurement remain ongoing. The presenters asked the board to continue letters of support for grant applications and emphasized Tannery Pond's contribution to local tourism and community life.
