A music and arts space in Somerville will be shutting down for at least awhile, as it makes some changes that will hopefully keep the place going.
According to an article from Vanyaland, ONCE on Highland Avenue is closing on July 31, as it is undergoing a "transition to a new internal structure" and getting a "cosmetic facelift," with the plan being to open back up sometime in the fall. This comes on the heels of a rough stretch for the place which included a break-in back in May along with facing the high costs of operating the business, with owner JJ Gonson reaching out to the city for help while also asking for support from the local music scene. A statement from ONCE includes the following:
"Over the next few months you will see changes at ONCE. Our mission will remain the same....but we must transition and hone to keep the business viable....Although it is unclear what the future state of ONCE will be, we sincerely hope you stick with us in continuing to realize our vital mission of focusing on local arts and artists....though we are not sure when we will reopen, we hope to fill the Fall with even more exciting events to bring the cultural community that much closer together. For the love of art, and with sincere gratitude, thank you for letting us be your venue.
The address for ONCE is 156 Highland Avenue, Somerville, MA, 02143. Its website is at https://ift.tt/2J0aE4b
