Project Description:
The monies will be used to supplement private contributions and a cultural facilities grant to build a community theater on land owned by the Art League. This will allow renovation of the League's existing building to expand the Art Library, Gallery and class spaces for the visual arts. During the past 30 years the League has built many partnerships with local businesses, citizens, public schools, and the local community college in providing contributions. However, because of the largely rural nature of the County, it is impossible to accumulate enough money fast enough to reach the goal of expanding the site so that all the currect services can be continued.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
Increased availability of programs in the Arts for youth and adults, and community entertainment.
