Columbia Arts Fundraising

“Creating is the greatest proof of being alive” and we have created something exciting in the Gorge. The community came together and created a cultural destination that not only serves the community but serves the arts as well. Columbia Center for the Arts houses a Theatre, Gallery, and Studio space to provide opportunities for artists and community members to participate in and create their own art experience.

Your support is critical to the success of these efforts. We are working to present programs that everyone - students, families, and artists - can participate in to enrich their lives and the community. Please consider making a gift to the Center in support of its programs. If you have any questions please contact Judie Hanel - fundraising@columbiaarts.org.

Sponsorship Opportunities

We are in the process of finishing up all the little details that happen naturally with any building project. We are getting ready to order and install the name plaques for the remaining theatre seats and gallery walls, and before we did, we wanted to offer the community the opportunity to purchase a name plaque before that final order goes in.

Front row theatre seats $1500
Remaining theatre seats $500
Gallery walls $1500

There are also a few Naming Opportunities available:

Performance Space $100,000
Sound Booth $10,000
Work Room $10,000
Administrative Offices $10,000
Dressing Rooms (2) $10,000 each

If you’re interested, please contact Judie Hanel - fundraising@columbiaarts.org. We understand not everyone can give to this degree and we welcome any size donation and are so grateful to you. It was the hundreds of small donations that made our Capital Campaign such a success.

Again we thank the community for everyone's generosity throughout this project and we hope you will be taking advantage of everything that is offered at Columbia Arts, be it an art class, live performance in the theatre or opening in the gallery. Again, thank you for your generosity.
