Link To Article EUPFAC receives the Sacred Heart Hall
through a
Fine Arts Council to Rescue DeTour Church Hall from Disrepair. The hall will now be rescued from disrepair by the Eastern Upper Peninsula Fine Arts Council, which plans to make it into an arts center. About $150,000 is needed to renovate the hall, which is Father Bateski's legacy and DeTour's commitment to the arts. (The drawing, by Bob Wytiaz, shows a rendition of the hall once proposed renovations are complete.) ... Once renovations are complete, the Arts Council hopes to continue using the building for a theater, and to host summer art classes, adult enrichment courses, and possibly revive showing movies there, while continuing to make it available for community use, receptions, and meetings. The agreement between the Arts Council and Sacred Heart Church would allow the parish to continue using the hall for activities such as bake sales, chicken roasts, and craft sales. The Fine Arts Council inaugurated its fundraising campaign in September, announcing its plans at the Summers End Concert. Approximately $750 was collected at the free concert, featuring a live performance about Michigan's history by The Collecting Consort. The concert is one of many activities hosted by the Fine Arts Council to promote arts in the community and showcase the area's many artists. The organization also awards up to four scholarships a year to help local high school graduates further develop their. performing arts talents at music and art camps and classes. The group sponsors the DeTour Community Choir, and has sponsored Artist of the Month displays, an art history program at schools, and has donated thousands of dollars to programs around the Eastern Upper Peninsula.
We are a non-profit organization, we are proud that 100% of the donations to our group go toward the advancement of the arts in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan, we have no paid officers, directors, or members. All donations are tax deductible. We invite a personal or corporate sponsor to donate money toward covering our website hosting. ($100 would cover most of it!!!) Please email us if you are interested in supporting this! Thanks in advance.
