New Opportunity
Recycling the old Pentecostal Church into a Artist Run Community Centre (ARCC).
Recently, a benevolent patron of the Arts offered the former Pentecostal Church downtown for temporary use. With only a short window of opportunity, an "Ad Hoc" group has been struck and is looking into the possibility of taking advantage of the site as an all-ages community venue.
Matthew Grogono, well-known recycler is Chair, and is joined by an Ad-Hoc working group of respected educators, musicians and artists. Other capable parties are also showing strong interest in helping develop the group's mission.
The Ad-Hoc working group intends to create a business plan modeled around the celebrated success of concert promoter Bill Graham with his venues, Fillmore West and Fillmore East. "It is our hope," says Grogono, "that this pilot project will demonstrate the viability of a multipurpose community centre." More particularly, it will focus on practice and performance space for artists from a diversity of disciplines.
A trial run to test the idea is currently under review by the group. If the business plan proves viable, a test event is being considered for within weeks. If the test proves successful an enlarged program could be undertaken during the March break. "We intend to bring the city's artistic community, both young and established artist, to the forefront particularly during the March break," says Grogono.
The group is turning to the community for their ideas. If you could be a World Leader in Art Promotions for a day, what you would do with a large hall down town in YK? What type of activities would you create for our community? Come share your vision with us.
