First Shore Federal in Snow Hill will host a groundbreaking and welcoming on Monday, Jan. 11 at 9 a.m. at 112 Pearl Street, which is behind the branch office on Green Street.
Sue Vincent, branch manager and Marty Neat, president of First Shore Federal, will be on hand to welcome Paul Volker, who will be opening up his new art gallery and studio, Green Pearl Contemporary Fine Art, once the renovations are completed.
Over the last 25 years, Volker has produced more than 3,000 works of art, many owned by collectors around the country and internationally. The gallery will be open to the public and designed so that visitors can look at paintings on display and also observe and talk to the artist at work. There will also be a small retail area featuring cards, prints and small works for purchase.
First Shore Federal has already taken advantage of the town’s façade grant program, renovating the front of the building. It will also be helping Volker with interior renovations and will take advantage of the new interior grant program the town will be introducing later this month.
The bank is using this as an opportunity to demonstrate its involvement with the town and economic growth.
Snow Hill is a Maryland Art & Entertainment District, designated by the Maryland Department of Commerce. Tax incentives are offered through the state and town for working artists, renovation projects and entertainment events.
