A multi-use center for Fayetteville
The Fayetteville Community Center will be home to the Fayetteville Chamber Music Festival as well as a venue available for Arts for Rural Texas, Fayetteville High School, local churches and civic groups. The final design will have theater seating, a multi-use stage, community rooms, smaller rehearsal rooms, and a full catering kitchen. Gallery space may be a part of the plan.
There will be many opportunities for this new Center to serve the broader Fayetteville populace, with a wide range of possible uses from senior activities to family functions, from programs for children to adult meetings and presentations. We are actively seeking our community’s input and advice.
Our Beginning
A small group of Fayetteville citizens and business owners have joined together to build a community center and theater in a historic building on Fayetteville’s square for use by the town’s many non-profit groups.
The Fayetteville Community Center Group, a non-profit Texas corporation, with the help of local philanthropists, has secured the E.J. Knesek Building and is now seeking input from the greater community on how the facility will ultimately be designed.
“This is a project that will take time and real vision. It will have an immediate impact on the town, but should also be an anchor for the town’s cultural life well into the future. We hope that you can join us in this very worthwhile civic project.”
— ANNE MITCHELL, BOARD MEMBER
Get Involved
A rough estimate for building a 150 to 200 seat theater, public rooms and kitchen, is between $1.5 and $2 million.
We are soliciting private donations as well as corporate and foundation grants. Once the building is designed, there will be naming opportunities as well.
