Velocity Dance Center—which was priced out of the Oddfellows building by new owner Ted Schroth—began a capital campaign to make necessary improvements to the building formerly known as CHAC. If they could make improvements, they could move in.
4Culture just gave Velocity $125,000 which, according to a Velocity press release, “represents a large portion of Velocity’s overall capital campaign and was the largest single award made in this cycle of 4Culture’s Cultural Facilities program.”
So, you know, yay.
Props to 4Culture. That is awesome. Not just helping the arts, but prioritizing arts at risk of gentrification and displacement. Very cool.
Congrats! I actually think this will work out well.
Ted Schroth was my landlord, until he priced my partner and I out of our apartment. Needless to say, we are much happier in our new place and hopefully Velocity Dance Center will be too!
So, what’s up with this ‘ZZZZZZZZZZZ’ and ‘you know, yay’? Either this is news or it isn’t — if you think it’s boring, then why are you reporting it? Don’t make pissy, snide comments about what you apparently think is a good thing. You’re just fueling the people who think you’re a pissy, snide, self-important prat.
How the fuck do you keep your job when you can’t even be interested in the news of your medium? You’re a slacker douche, just go back to doing bong hits and talking about how much everyone sucks WITHOUT collecting a paycheck for it, you shitty advocate of theatre. Times are hard, deal with it.
one small dissent – dancers and other folks eat – miss Crave every day
it was a great resource up here on 12th – I also miss the dive in the basement, late on, I get in the hell hole hang out mood – the place was perfect and scored a couple of hot dates … with the music boys
