Save The Coronation Theatre in Gunning!

HELP SAVE THE CORONATION THEATRE IN GUNNING

 

Max Cullen and Margarita Georgiadis are custodians of The iconic Coronation Theatre building c 1937 in Gunning. They are seeking funds to assist with major renovation works to ensure this historically significant cultural heritage venue will continue to remain standing for the community of Gunning, performing artists, visual artists, community groups, touring audiences, and stakeholders for many years into the future.

 

Max and Margarita have lovingly maintained this historic landmark building and adjoining gardens for the past 19 years. Max and Margarita have invested all their resources, time, money, passion, vision and energy into transforming The Coronation Theatre into a multi-discipline cultural venue that is proudly the GUNNING ARTS CENTRE.

 

It has taken the creative and dedicated couple many years to establish their arts venues under the one roof of the Gunning Arts Centre. The venues include The Picture House Gallery, The Picture House Theatre, The Picture House Studio, The Picture House Gardens and Creative Gunning premises. They have created a relaxing and inviting one acre Australian Bush Garden at the rear of the property, which is landscaped to accommodate outdoor performances, exhibitions, festival and community events. In conjunction with a NSW Creative Capital Grant Application for critical restoration work to the rusty original corrugated roof and adequate professional sound insulation of the auditorium interior walls, Max and Margarita are keen to foster the full potential of the cultural premises.

 

Having literally exhausted their financial capacity to continue urgent restoration works, Max and Margarita welcome your assistance toward this culturally significant restoration project. This fundraiser is an integral application element in securing the NSW Creative Capital Grant, which will allow them, under the auspice of Upper Lachlan Shire Council, to realise the full potential of the proposed restoration works.

 

In the unfortunate event their application is unsuccessful, your funds toward this project will be utilised by Max and Margarita to conduct critically urgent repair work, the scope of which will be dependent on the amount raised.

 

Max and Margarita sincerely hope their community, friends and patrons can help them Save The Coronation Theatre for generations to come!

Anonymous donations of any amount are all welcome!
