The future home of Danforth Art: Jonathan Maynard |
On Thursday, January 23, 2014, Director Katherine French of Danforth Art, Framingham Town Manager Robert Halpin, the Town of Framingham Board of Selectmen, and the Trustees of Danforth Art signed the final closing documents for the sale of the historic Jonathan Maynard Building at 14 Vernon Street on Framingham Centre Common to Danforth Art.
The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved the sale of the Jonathan Maynard building in February of 2013 for $1,000,000 and $500,000 in community services, final approval of the sale was granted during the May 2013 Town Meeting. Under the agreement, the Museum will honor the town’s lease of space to Framingham State University through 2015, and the Town will be granted a 75-year right of first refusal on any future sale of the building. Starting February 1, 2014, Danforth Art will provide all Town of Framingham residents with discounted memberships, as well as free admission to the galleries on Saturday mornings from 10 am to 12 pm. Danforth Art will continue to provide needs-based scholarships for studio art classes, educational programs for Framingham Public Schools, as well as other community-based programs. The Town of Framingham will partner with Danforth Art to promote these community benefits widely to Framingham residents.
The purchase of the Jonathan Maynard Building represents a long-term solution to Danforth Art’s facility shortcomings at its current Union Avenue location in downtown Framingham. Danforth Art’s Board of Trustees has formed a building committee to further assess the need and plan for renovation of the Jonathan Maynard Building. Danforth Art could begin to occupy a newly renovated facility as early as fall of 2016.
Laurie Lee, Vice Chair of the Board of Selectmen said “This is a wonderful moment for the Town, the Museum and the Framingham community. It represents the power of partnerships between private and public organizations. This sale is not only a wonderful reuse of an historic building; it secures the future of Danforth Art as Framingham’s art museum and school. It also supports the creation of a cultural district in the Historic Centre Common and will provide many cultural and educational opportunities for Framingham residents and schools at discounted or no cost."
“We are in the early planning stages now so that we may soon take full advantage of the marvelous opportunity that the purchase of the Maynard building represents for Danforth Art,” said Katherine French, Executive Director of Danforth Art, Museum\School. “This purchase provides Danforth Art with a viable long-term home for what is a vibrant and thriving arts education center.”
“Framingham State University looks forward to building upon its existing collaborations with Danforth Art that this move will provide,” said Dale Hamel, Executive Vice President of Administration, Finance and Information at Framingham State University.
Robert Halpin, Town Manager said “In addition to the financial benefits of this sale, the conveyance of the Maynard Building to the Trustees preserves a surplus, yet historic building, and places it in the hands of a much valued cultural organization. Danforth Art will be a welcome addition to this historic area.”
