Dr. Jim Richardson, Wenatchee Valley College President and
Sunrise member, hosted our club for breakfast at WVC and gave us a great tour
of the new Fine & Performing Arts Building.
The building, originally designed at $4M ($2M of that from the state), was completed for $9.6M, thanks to
funds from the WVC Foundation, a match from the Icicle Fund, and many personal
donations. This allowed a better
state-of-the-art building that got just about everything the fine art and music
people wanted. The arts building
features art studios that have high tech computerization, white board walls,
and are designed for optimum lighting and utilization of space. The music wing consists of an acoustically
designed recital hall, sound-proof practice rooms, a computer music composition
room, a recording studio, and a practice room for bands and choirs. This was a community effort that has produced
a world class facility.
