West End concert raising funds for transformation of Point Douglas church into performing arts venue
3 minute read 6:00 AM CDTVolunteers are making a valiant effort to raise money needed to open a performing arts venue in Point Douglas.
The steering committee behind the Valiant Theatre is raising $100,000 to upgrade its century-old building, the former Christ the King Ukrainian Catholic Church at 376 Logan Ave.
With $20,000 of donations already committed, the committee is organizing a concert on Friday at the West End Cultural Centre that they hope will push them closer to their goal.
“This is a group of people who believe,” says committee member Amanda Le Rougetel. “We believe in the life force that is creative energy and we believe in community and we believe in the power of art in all its forms.”
