While still under construction, this coming home of the Cape Verdean community in New Bedford at 1156 Acushnet Avenue is already a cultural force in the city. Its adjacent Island Park (also still under construction) boasts a popular mural immortalizing Cape Verdean and island music of all kinds. It’s already played host to area musicians and even members of the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra. The building itself was the former historic Strand Theater and dates to the early 20th century. It is being redeveloped in partnership with the Waterfront Area Historic League (W.H.A.L.E.) of New Bedford.
