Red Carpet Treatment!
New carpet and flooring throughout the theater is the most recent fundraising project directed by the Bandon Arts Council. The council has raised more than $15,000 toward the flooring project through city revenue sharing along with donations from local service organizations, performing arts groups and individuals.
Donations to the carpet and flooring project, and future projects, are welcome!
