The Art Underground Launches Take-A-Seat Campaign to Support New Community Arts Center and Theater Located at Steel Ranch Development in Louisville, CO

The Art Underground (TAU), a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization offering dance, theater, film and visual arts classes for all ages, recently announced its Take-A-Seat Campaign to support a new theatre and community arts center at Louisville’s Steel Ranch development in Louisville, CO.

In the Take-A-Seat campaign, patrons who donate $350 will receive a brass plaque with an inscription of their choice mounted on a theater seat in the 200 seat theater planned to break ground in January 2013. This campaign allows community businesses, families and individuals to support The Art Underground’s mission of increasing community and individual awareness, participation, appreciation and enjoyment of the arts in Boulder County.

The Art Underground, located in historic downtown Louisville, has been addressing the need for arts in Boulder County since its opening in 2007. As the arts community in East Boulder continues to flourish, and the demand for TAU’s classes continues to grow, TAU will be joining with other community organizations in the use of this new arts facility, The Arts Hub, as part of the Steel Ranch development in Louisville. The 200 seat theater included in the development will serve as a community resource and venue for a variety of performances.

“The opportunity to purchase a theatre seat at the new arts center located at Steel Ranch through our Take-A-Seat campaign is truly a unique opportunity to support arts in our community,” said Lori Jones, Founder and Executive Director, The Art Underground. “The Art Underground will serve as the managing organization of the Arts Hub at Steel Ranch although the beautiful new facility will house several non-profit arts organizations, in addition to TAU. Many will benefit from the build of this community based arts center.”

The first seat funded in the Take-A-Seat Campaign was purchased by the Tri-City Elks Lodge in Louisville, a longtime supporter of the arts in the Louisville community. Space is limited as more than 20 of the total 200 theater seats available have already been sold in the initial launch of this program. All Take-A-Seat donations are 100% tax deductible. Contact Heather Frim, Chair, TAU Board, at hfrim@comcast.net to participate in Take-A-Seat program.
