AH pens letter of support for arts centre fundraising
By Chad Ingram
The Township of Algonquin Highlands is supporting a grant application by the Haliburton Highlands Arts Centre Foundation for money for a feasibility study for a would-be state-of-the-art performing arts centre in the county.
Councillors heard from Dan Manley, president of the foundation, which was founded in 2018 and granted charitable status in 2019. Its goal is the construction of a modern arts centre in the Haliburton Highlands that would include an acoustically engineered performance space large enough to house an orchestra, a secondary theatre for smaller events, acoustically isolated rehearsal spaces, a centralized box office for performing arts events, and a lobby where alcoholic beverages could be served.
