Brannon-Heard House The City of Cumming has awarded a lease agreement to the Sawnee Association of the Arts for exclusive use of the Brannon-Heard House to create a downtown arts center.
The center will offer art displays and shows, classes and demonstrations, and a gift shop selling items handcrafted by SAA members. The agreement assures greater community use of the house, while providing stable rental fees which will in turn be used to better maintain the historic facility. Recently, The Inner Light Paranormal team has been investigating the Brannon-Heard House in response to reports of paranormal activity. |
Cumming Playhouse Closes The City of Cumming has awarded an expanded lease to Brian and Kelly Tam who will operate the former Cumming Playhouse as well as Tam’s Back Stage restaurant downstairs. The agreement begins in January of 2019. Community and professional groups will continue to publicly perform on stage throughout the year.
Please Note: The Historical Society of Forsyth County will maintain their headquarters in the facility in accordance with their lease contract. Information on how donors can pick up their items that were on display in the school rooms will be published shortly. |
