KENNEBUNK — Organizers are planning to secure $4 million in private donations to support the Southern Maine Center for the Visual and Performing Arts, which is in the planning stages along with renovations at Kennebunk High School.

The community arts center is being discussed alongside renovations being planned for KHS, Kennebunkport Consolidated School and Mildred L. Day School in Arundel. The cost of the plans to renovate the three facilities is estimated between $61.7 million and $66.8 million, with two plans currently being reviewed at the high school — one with the free-standing performing arts center and the second without.

The cost of renovating the three school buildings, along with constructing the freestanding performing arts center, is estimated at $66.8 million, with $10 million of that total anticipated to be raised through private funding.
