Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Phase 1 of the Centre for the Arts will include a new outdoor amphitheater, colonade and concert green to accommodate up to 5,000 people with a state-of-the-art stage, with sould and lighting systems, suitable for music, dance, drama and community events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

The new facility will allow a sunstantial increase in the number of free public performances presented each year to serve the rapidly growing audiences and art organizations in South Florida.  This facility will be a cultural magnate, attracting artists and art groups to create a critical mass of cultural activity that will enhance Palm Beach County's appeal as an international tourist destination.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

this facility will provide more performances of higher quality and economic efficiency because of the state-of-the-art theatrical systems.  The Centre for the Arts anticipates staging at least 55 concert/events each year that would attract as many as 275,000 people annually.  In addition, there would be non-performance community events that historically draw at least 50,000 attendees per weekend.  Therefore, Phase 1 of the Centre for the ARts is anticipated to serve over 575,000 residends and tourists each year.
