2015-16 COLUMBIA CENTER FOR THE ARTS
2015-16 was a major transitional year for Columbia Center for the Arts. Celebrating
our 10-year anniversary, we took stock of our first decade of delivering art
experiences to the communities of the Gorge, and focused on best practices to refine, expand, and elevate our offerings in all art forms, including theatre, dance,
music, film, lectures, presentations, classes, and visual arts.
Thank you to all our 2015-16 donors for your generosity, and for appreciating
and supporting the importance of art in the lives of the members of our Gorge communities. Thank you also to all who
served on committees, volunteered, and attended art shows, classes, and
performing arts programs.
