L'Atelier features the work of 5 and 6 year old Kindergarten students from Beverly J. Martin Elementary School. We were excited to be a part of these students' month-long journey to discover what it means to be an artist, explore the concept of art as a universal language, and experience the work and discipline it takes to put on a show. Host your next event in one of the county's few remaining grand architectural treasures and historic gathering venues. The hall's unique character, size, versatility and optimal location makes it ideal for your next event.
