La Fab-ulous funding

Chelsea art centre granted $624K for church upgrade

La Fab Arts Centre’s new home is about to get a serious upgrade thanks to grant funding from Quebec.

On March 3 in La Fab, Quebec Culture and Communications Minister Nathalie Roy announced over $10.2 million in grant funding for historic church revitalization projects across Quebec, including $624,762 for Grace United Church on Mill Road in Chelsea, which is now home to the La Fab arts collective.
