OUR PROGRESS

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

With the support of LMN Architects, the Arts Center Task Force has completed a pre-design study and site plan. Our proposed facility will include an 800-seat theatre with outstanding acoustics, technical support, and comfortable seats; a large lobby that can used for events; an art gallery and educational space; a catering set-up kitchen and beverage service; and plenty of restrooms. The space is optimized for music, dance, lyric theatre, plays, popular entertainment, multimedia, film festivals and receptions, lobby and stage exhibits, speakers and conferences, and graduations.

BUSINESS PLAN

The Arts Center Task Force has produced a business plan necessary to completing this project. The Center will be in use ~260 days a year: hosting resident companies, community groups, sponsored shows, and private events.  A pro forma operating model estimates the center to be financially self sustaining after 3 years of being open.
