Pleasantonâs Firehouse Arts Center will reopen to the public on Saturday, May 1. âWeâre excited to once again provide a place where friends and neighbors can gather safely and celebrate the joy of art, music and theater,â said city recreation manager Tamara Whitney. The arts center has been closed since March 2019 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The facilityâs Harrington Art Gallery will also be reopening. âThe arts provide more than just entertainment. They are also essential to our mental and emotional well-being,â Whitney added. âWeâre hopeful that by reopening our doors we can bring excitement and social connection to the many who have struggled during this difficult time.â
