“Bringing the Arts to Life” Capital Campaign
The transformation of the original Edmonds High School auditorium into the new Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) was completed on schedule
and on budget in October 2006. That same month, local arts groups and other rental clients began appearing on the ECA stage. However, we continue to seek the support of our community to help complete the "Bringing the Arts to Life" Capital Campaign. Approximately $15.7M in public and private funds has been raised to meet our total project goal of $18.5M. Of that amount, $2M has been raised from individuals, corporations and foundations who, because of their support, have played a major role in making this community dream a reality. It is only through the generosity, vision and leadership of community members like you that we will be able to finish the first phase of renovations and continue to develop ECA into the thriving community resource it was designed to be. There are many ways to get involved.

Honor a family member, friend of the memory of someone close to you, highlight your business or your own passion for the performing arts**. Besides your sponsorship plaque, you will also be recognized as an ECA donor on the lobby donor wall and your contribution will be directed to the ECA Capital Campaign.
*Exact plaque placement is based on actual seat availability. Sponsorship of a seat does not guarantee that seat will be available for personall use during performances.
