New Ideas, New Building: 2701-7 Cherokee Street
We have spent the last 9 months hosting trivia nights and cocktail
parties, partnering with local businesses, writing grants and running
a Kickstarter campaign and now it is time to make the next step: WE
ARE MOVING TO CHEROKEE STREET!
The Luminary is moving forward with plans for a new location at
2701-7 Cherokee Street. The 13,000 sq/ft complex in the center of our
favorite street will host an expansive gallery, reconfigured venue,
studios, workshop space, and housing for international
artists-in-residence. We will begin a complete renovation of the
building in late October of 2012 and plan to open to the public in
Spring of 2013. And since we just couldn’t wait another 6 months, we
will begin hosting our exhibitions in an interim location at 2644
Cherokee Street starting on October 19th, 2012.
For more information on the project, we have a detailed overview at
www.theluminaryarts.com/cc. Read up, share with your friends, help
however you can.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Capital Campaign: Phase 2
We have been able to get to this point through your support. The
funds we’ve raised so far will enable us to pay for the lease and
initial renovations. This is a major project that will involve
replacing many of the systems, stabilizing the structure, and putting
on a new roof. You continued support is necessary to be able to
finish the project and move in early next year. Please donate today
at www.theluminaryarts.com/cc to help see this project through!
