The Cassidy Gallery-Bolduc Block

CONWAY — When Cassidy Gallery owner Nancy White Cassidy attended the Mountain Top Music School’s capital campaign kickoff to purchase the Bolduc Block in Conway on a hot summer day in 2015, and listened to the vision of the school’s director George Wiese, a spark was lit.

The long vacant building was to be renovated, the school moved to the second floor, and the retail spaces in front redesigned and available for lease. This major project would be a key part of the revitalization of Conway Village. And because music and art are mutually supporting partners, Cassidy decided then that the Bolduc Block was where her gallery belonged.
