Over the last 10 years, Raue Center has brought the community a place to enrich their lives through the arts. The community has been entertained by greats and unknowns, far away travelers and locals, professionals and amateurs, and as they celebrate their 10th anniversary season, they send an invite to come out and see what they are up to.
Since opening in 2001, over 600,000 adults and children have walked through the doors of Raue Center to experience the magic and wonder of the arts.
Over 7,200 people visit their art galleries each year. These galleries provide local artists with a venue to display their work.
Raue Center has introduced the performing arts to more than 165,000 local school children, which is over 20,000 children annually. Over 7,000 local and regional artists have performed in more than 570 performances at Raue Center.
As this recession continues to find an end, publicly funded programs suffer. This makes Raue Center’s commitment to the community and the arts much greater. They strive to continue to bring the community quality, affordable programming, but they need help. To date, they have raised half of their $25,000 fundraising goal. They are asking for help from the community to raise the remaining $10,000 by February 25 and make a difference right here in this community? 83 cents of every dollar donated goes directly back into programming and providing imaginations a place to flourish.
Raue Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of all through the arts. To make a donation, please contact Rhienna Kujawa, director of development, at 815.356.9010 x21.
