The Wickford Art Association wants to restore the annex and use it as its home but will need Town Council permission.
NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI—The chairman of the North Kingstown Arts Council sends this letter to the editor.

Memorandum of Support
On behalf of the North Kingstown Arts Council, I want to express our support for the Wickford Art Association’s proposal to assume responsibility for updating the Town Hall Annex and converting it into a home for the WAA. The Town Council has previously approved the proposal and authorized negotiations for the property. As a result, the Wickford Art Association has been accepted for the RISCA grant of $98,000. This grant will be used to update the Annex, upon completion of negotiations with the town.
