The Center Campaign

If you search the entire United States, you will not find a single project that can accomplish so much at once as the Del Norte Center for the Performing Arts.

WE BUILD TOGETHER. WE RISE TOGETHER.

One Project To Touch A Generation

This endeavor will have far-reaching effects, touching the lives of everyone within its radius. The Center will benefit students, families, instructors, artists, business owners, and residents of all ages, interests, cultures, and points of view. Local and regional businesses will experience an increase in economic activity as a result of the increased attendance at performances, community gatherings, conferences, and special events. 


Additionally, the Center will serve as a venue for the immensely diverse local and regional community to exhibit its talents and cultural wealth. It will no longer be necessary for residents to travel hundreds of miles to see professional performing artists, as they will have continuous access to them.

 

Furthermore, The Center will serve as a place for the community to gather, learn, and remain informed. Given that the community is regularly exposed to the threat of tsunamis, The Center will provide a much-needed emergency operations center and information hub, strategically located outside the tsunami zone but near to the city center.

Civic Impact

The Center will provide a home for the region’s many professional and volunteer performing arts organizations, and a high-quality venue to attract visiting professional artists. Because of its inter-linked mission with the school districts, visiting artists can be engaged to provide special learning opportunities for students.

Community Resilience

The cost of preparedness is much less than the cost of not being ready. The potential for natural disasters, public health crises, interruptions to utility and communications services, and other adverse events, elevate the need for dedicated facilities.

Convention

Place for Community

In every community, there is a need for a gathering place – a place where people can come together, share their ideas, and find common ground. A place where important issues can be discussed and solutions can be found. A place that is welcoming, inclusive, and supportive of everyone's unique perspectives.
