The Colonial Theatre received word in early September of our successful Pennsylvania Creative Assets grant application. Pennsylvania Creative Industries, powered by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts awarded The Colonial $15,000 in funding. The Pennsylvania Creative Assets program supports small-to-mid-sized creative organizations that deliver services, products, and/or programs that align with one or more of Pennsylvania Creative Industries’ strategic plan focus areas:
- Asset Development
- Workforce Development
- Visibility
- Policy
This grant will fund a combination of operational costs and capital project expenses. The Creative Assets award helps The Colonial steward its 31,000 square feet of historic space, located in thriving downtown Phoenixville. It also supports the organization as it provides high-quality arts programming to 50,000 patrons each year.
