The Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts is not just a pretty backdrop for our Suffolk Mystery Authors Festival poster. In fact, the stunning structure was erected in 1922 as Suffolk High School and served students and teachers until 1990. A task force was assembled in 1998 to re-purpose the then-empty school, transforming it once and for all into an exquisite repository for the arts. After years of raising funds, strategizing adaptive-reuse tax credits and garnering municipal support, the former Suffolk High School reopened as the state-of-the-art Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts in 2006.
