Housed in a former firehouse at the corner of Westcott St. and Euclid Ave., the Westcott Community Center is a hub of local activity, from bands and community meetings, to art exhibitions. It has also hosted ESF departmental potlucks with students and faculty, and can be rented for any event.
Among the activities it hosts:
- Figure drawing
- African dance and drumming
- University Neighbors Lecture Series
- Karate
- Exercise classes
It is also home to a GED program, as well as a childrens' after-school program.
The Westcott -- as it was called, especially before the movie theater down the street also converted to a concert venue -- is perhaps best known for hosting local young and amateur music acts in an alcohol-free venue friendly to highschool students. Concertgoers still gather on spring and summer evenings to pass the time outside before a show.
In the meantime, tune in online to Westcott Radio, also housed at the Community Center.
