The Standing Ovation Fund
Help us harmonize with our mission of providing a community hub for diverse events and entertainment in the heart of Downtown as we pave our way to a debt free future.
The funds we raised through generous community contributions allowed us to find our footing as a new entity on Water Street five years ago, and through your continuous engagement our vision has expanded the limits of the theatre, making the Arcadia what you see today.
We are grateful to announce The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country – together with some of its generous donors – has launched the Standing Ovation Fund, a special fundraising initiative aimed at eliminating the remaining $300,000 in debt from renovation.
To encourage broad support, Community Foundation fundholders, Larry and Diana Howard, will match all contributions up to $150,000. Every gift will be doubled in its impact, when made through the Standing Ovation Fund.
Together, we can keep our doors open and continue to serve our incredible community with free monthly events, ticketed concerts, and more.
“The Arcadia Theater is more than a building – it’s a symbol of Kerrville’s creativity and spirit,” said Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation. “Every weekend, the renovated Arcadia has brought incredible live music talent – like Lyle Lovett earlier this year – to downtown Kerrville. The Standing Ovation Fund is an opportunity for all of us to come together and ensure Arcadia is debt-free and continuing to enhance the local quality of life.”
Gifts can be made online HERE; by mailing a check to the Standing Ovation Fund at the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, 241 Earl Garrett Street, Kerrville, Texas 78028; or by contacting the Foundation to give stock or retirement assets.
The Standing Ovation Fund represents a chance to applaud the Arcadia’s history and help it shine for the next generation.
