The volunteer board responsible for the operations of the Atikokan Arts Centre is considering filing for bankruptcy.
Chair Jada Siegfried says with the centre having run out of funds, the group is left with little choice.
"We would much prefer the building to stay open and the vision of the Arts Centre continue," says Siegfried. "Unfortunately, the funding isn't there for a qualified artistic director and staff to administer the programming and day-to-day operations."
Siegfried says it's likely assets will be sold off and the building eventually closed.
She says the facility, though, will remain available until then to groups wanting to use it, but without staff on site.
