The Original Creatives: They Vote to Preserve KAC!

Family members of the Creative Arts League, who originally purchased the Peter Kirk Building in 1962, shared their stories and votes for Kirkland Arts Center. This is just awesome!

My dad is Bill Radcliffe,and he was one of the founders of The Creative Arts League in 1962. As a seven year old, I had no appreciation for old buildings, especially when the early chores were cleaning them up!! Today, I can’t imagine a world without that “old building”. KAC is a visible testament to history, art, and community.

My parents were among the initial 11 who purchased the building and it was a source of pride for them their entire life. It was not easy for them financially, but they were so convinced that having a center for the arts was important that they borrowed the money and participated in the purchase. Then there were the years that all start-ups have – hours of volunteer labor as the building slowly came together.
