The Soundproofing of the Performance Hall has Commenced!

As many within our community know, we have been fundraising for exterior storm windows for quite some time. To achieve this, we have been hosting benefit concerts and promoting our project around the Center. Our aim through this initiative is to improve the quality of life for our neighborhoods and performance artists alike, while diversifying the array of shows we are able to host.

We are excited to announce that we have now raised enough funding for phase one of the project!

The first step went down this week — the windows were measured to make templates. By the end of November, we should begin our installation process. We’ll keep you posted with updates along the way!
