Artists Rep’s downtown block reached the end of its useful life. A $7.1 million gift in 2018 kicked off our capital campaign, paid off the mortgage, and enabled the sale of the north half of our downtown block to Wood Partners. The $9 million received in the sale became the lead investment for reimagining our remaining south half block, in which the roof and a massive wood beam will rise to create a modern multi-use performing arts center with two theaters, four rehearsal halls, and collaborative spaces.
