This grant will assist the Anson County Arts Council with completing its efforts to renovate the Ansonia Theatre into a 300-seat multi-purpose performing arts theater and community auditorium. The Ansonia will provide affordable family entertainment and recreation to area citizens. This project will increase cultural arts exposure for all citizens, provide a facility for civic, private and school functions and performances, and enhance the quality of life in this rural county. Golden LEAF funds will provide the last 13% of total funding needed to complete renovation of the facility.
