Be Bold. Be Generous.
Vision
We are committed to building a modern Performing Arts Center that will greatly enhance the educational experience for every student who passes through its doors. The Center will include community, learning, practice, and performing spaces that inspire intellectual curiosity, creativity, artistic expression, and build community.
Need
Gwynette Auditorium is nearing the end of its useful life, has limited seating capacity, and ongoing maintenance costs are unsustainable.
Cost
Design work and construction for the Performing Arts Center is estimated at $8.5 million.
Timeline
With your support, design work will begin in 2019, construction will start in 2020, and our grand opening performance will be in 2021.
