Thank you for supporting the Cedarburg Cultural Center as we recover from the pandemic. As you know, we closed our doors or reduced our hours and programming to keep the public and our staff safe from Covid 19.
Your support is needed now more than ever. While we reduced our staffing and programming the bills continued to come arrive in our mailbox. As we slowly recover and increase our hours your support will help us to find our footing once again.
CLOSED TODAY
Please stay safe out there.
We will reopen tomorrow, Friday, February 17 at 10 am.
