BEMIDJI — The Bemidji Community Arts Center is planning a move across the street.

The BCAC, now located in the historic Carnegie library, has announced its intentions to move into the Lakeside Business Center, the former site of Lakeside Lueken’s Grocery.

The 102-year-old Carnegie has been a good home for the BCAC, but the organization wants a site with more space and better accessibility, said Lori Forshee-Donnay, the executive director of the BCAC.

In June, the BCAC hosted an art show for a woman who could not attend because she could not access the Carnegie while in her wheelchair.

“She couldn’t get in to see her own work,” Forshee-Donnay said.

The BCAC moved into the Carnegie in the early 1980s.
