CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS

Capital Project: Replace Creative Studio West Projector

DESCRIPTION

This project will replace the projector in Creative Studio West at the PACE Center.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION

Parker Arts programs and renters both use the projector in Creative Studio West regularly. The ability to project in this space is one of the major selling points for renters and a major source of revenue for Parker Arts. This projector is well past its useful life expectancy and is failing.

Funding Sources

Cultural Fund Revenue

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS

Without this projector, the financial impact will be negative as one of the major selling points for renters is its existence.

Impact On Other Departments

None

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED

Enhance Economic Vitality

Parker Arts is a critical component of a vibrant downtown. It offers events, classes and shows year-round, which bring patrons downtown to eat and shop.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement

The theater provides a performance space for a number of local arts groups (e.g., Parker Chorale, Inspire Creative and the Parker Symphony Orchestra) and provides a pathway for community members to take an active role in the arts.

Innovate with Collaborative Governance

As the premier cultural entity for Douglas County and beyond, we collaborate with creative partners, Town departments, organizations from across the state, and vendors from around the country to deliver the most innovative programming and engaging experiences at the most affordable price.

Capital Project: Wireless Microphones System

Description

This expenditure is to purchase the additional wireless microphone equipment needed for the shows, events, and rentals at PACE.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION

The Cultural Department currently does not have the wireless microphone equipment needed for many of the shows, events, and rentals at the PACE Center. This project is required to purchase enough of the hardware so that we can fully support these activities with quality and reliable inhouse audio equipment.

Impact On Operating Costs

Improving and expanding the equipment that PACE can offer in house will both reduce the costs associated with repairs and maintenance as well as increase the revenue that can be generated.
