March 17, 2018 (All day) Founded in 1975, by a group of artists yearning for a space of their own, these pioneers had a clear vision and spearheaded a grassroots effort and raised $300,000 to purchase the Historic Carson Brewing Building and turn it into a community gathering space for artists. They then proceeded to build an annex for a gallery, art classroom, a black box theater and the Brewery Arts Center (BAC) a Nevada non-profit organization was born. In 2000, the organization purchased the St. Teresa Catholic Church building and converted it into a 250 seat Performance hall.
These buildings and facilities are in need of updating to become more energy efficient and help save on increasingly large utility costs therefore café manager, Sarah Morey has spearheaded a GoFundMe Campaign to become more energy efficient.
“This community has been very generous in supporting the programs of the Brewery Arts Center and we are hoping to rally our supporters once again to help us be sustainable into the future”, says Executive Director Gina Lopez Hill.
Our building, built in 1865, is an amazing structure. But it is severely out of date. Our objective this year is to evaluate all areas of our campus and see what we need to do to stop waste and reduce our footprint on the environment.
The first area that was identified is our restrooms. We have over 30 toilets on our campus. Due to our outdated plumbing our water usage and costs are high. To fix this we would like to replace all of our toilets with low flow units. This will significantly decrease the amount of water used and lower our costs.
To accomplish this, we need our community’s help! The Brewery Arts Center is a 501(C)3 privately funded non-profit organization which operates primarily on earned income, donations and grants. We are looking to raise $15,000.
