April 22, 2022 – Bradenton
ArtCenter Manatee is pleased to announce a two-million-dollar gift to the Center’s Building Campaign from the Steve and Natalee Herrig Family Foundation.Bradenton residents, the Herrigs are committed to the success of the Bradenton community and feel the ArtCenter is central to both the cultural life and the development of the community as a destination for the arts.
“We are grateful for the Herrig’s commitment to the vision of the ArtCenter and its role as the premier visual arts center in Manatee County. A gift of this level will help to move the Center’s campaign forward and will allow us to continue to impact lives through our classes, exhibits and other programming,” said Carla Nierman, Executive Director of the ArtCenter.
Upon completion, the new 2-story, 28,000 SF facility, will be renamed the Herrig Center for the Arts.
The ArtCenter’s goal is to break ground in late 2022. Once the new facility is complete, the current building will be razed and the property developed into a community park and sculpture garden to benefit the entire community. The new Center and park will be at the intersection of 9th Street West and the Avenue of the Arts (formerly 3rd Avenue).
Steve Herrig, CEO and Board Chair for Sunz Insurance, headquartered in Bradenton, said he was excited to be a part of such an important project for the community which will change the entrance into Bradenton and welcome residents and visitors to this dynamic and growing community.
