Castle Arts and Community Center
About
Castle Arts and Community Center is a Woburn nonprofit working to preserve the historic Wyman Castle and school property and turn it into a center for arts, culture, education and community life. It was created by the Save the Wyman Committee, and its plan focuses on restoring and reactivating a landmark the city already owns rather than building something new in Woburn’s Central Square. Supporters see the property as a local treasure with tremendous potential.
The group intends to respond to the City of Woburn’s request for proposals for the property and partner with city leaders to carry out the project. Its vision is a welcoming, inclusive gathering place where people of all backgrounds can take part in programs that enrich the city’s cultural, historical and educational life. The broader objectives are to sustain a historic community asset, expand arts and educational opportunities and create an accessible hub for engagement.
What to Know
- Residents can make pledges, which are contingent on the group winning the RFP and receiving a ground lease for the Wyman School property.
