From The Olga Strawberry Council Board
Although it may look quiet and as though nothing is happening at the burned building that housed The Artworks, the James Hardman Gallery and Café Olga, the Olga Strawberry Council wants everyone to know that there’s plenty going on behind the scenes, and the Board is anxious to be moving forward in ways that can be seen.
We are working hard at completing preliminary actions regarding construction, insurance, codes, historical issues and other details so we can then move ahead with demolition, where necessary, and start restoring the building.
Donations to assist the tenants and building restoration efforts have been, and continue to be, gratefully received and appreciated. Our goal is to have the site buzzing with activity very soon.
In the meantime, however, we’re happy to say that The Artworks and Hardman Gallery have re-opened temporarily in Eastsound on Main Street across from the Episcopal Church and encourage everyone to go by and see the amazing job they have done in turning small rooms into beautiful spaces.
