Arts centre forum attracts big crowd: Citizen

"Whether it's called a Performing Arts Centre or a Centre for the Arts, it looks like it's going downtown Prince George," according to the Prince George Citizen.

The first meeting in the long process of exploring the feasibility of having an arts centre in Prince George was attended by more than 250 people at the Ramada hotel Thursday night. It was hosted by City Centre Ventures, the downtown development arm of Initiatives Prince George.
"This will be a community partnership, with City Centre Ventures providing administrative and technical expertise to that committee," Offet said.

He added the arts centre needs to be a facility that will be in constant use, where a large number of people will be using the facility during a 16-hour day. He suggested multi-use is the key to success with studios, galleries, activity centres, arts programming, and performances taking place under one roof.
