Art Theater building owner serves notice to regain possession
It is my goal to obtain possession of the theater and all of its assets as soon as possible, in order to secure a future for the space,” said David Kraft, owner of the structure at 126 W. Church St., which has also housed apartments.
“Though the Art Film Foundation quit on the theater and the community, I am honoring the terms of the lease, and have served the foundation with a 10-day notice demanding that they cure their default,” Kraft said.
