BATH
Barbara Bowers has resigned as executive director of the Chocolate Church Arts Center.
Board of Directors President Joe Byrnes said today that center officials have launched a search for a new director after Bowers resigned to “pursue other opportunities.”
“Barb has done a great job of bringing nationally-known talent to our stage here in Bath,” Byrnes said in a prepared release. “The board wishes her well.”
“The ideal successor will step into the job ready to continue the fine programming CCAC has offered over the past seasons, and is ready to continue our commitment to bring arts and entertainment to the Mid-coast region,” Byrnes said.
The board hopes to have its new director on the job early this summer, he said.
The Chocolate Church Arts Center calls itself “Mid-coast Maine’s regional performing
and visual arts center.”
“For more than 30 years the Chocolate Church Arts Center has been offering a rich program of live music, gallery exhibitions, theatre for adult and young artists, lectures and workshops,” the center says on its website.
Calls to Byrnes and Bowers were not immediately returned this morning.
