Voting underway to bring live summer music back to downtown Carson City
The Brewery Arts Center is now in the running to bring a 10 week live music series to Carson City during the summer of 2019.
Sponsored by the Mortimer and Mimi Levitt Foundation, a national foundation dedicated to strengthening the social fabric of America through free live music, Brewery Arts Center hopes to qualify as one of 15 winning organizations competing in the Levitt AMP Grant Awards.
The Levitt AMP Grant Awards are an exciting matching grant opportunity created by the Levitt Foundation to serve small to mid-sized towns and cities with populations up to 400,000. Up to 15 nonprofits will receive $25,000 each in matching funds to produce their own Levitt AMP Music Series — an outdoor, free concert series featuring a diverse lineup of professional musicians.
Brewery Arts Center submitted the proposal for Carson City. The proposed venue site is Minnesota Street Stage at 511 West King Street in between the two buildings that make up the BAC. Carson City’s proposal is now posted on the Levitt AMP website for public voting here: http://levittamp.org
A successful campaign for the Brewery Arts Center depends on community participation to get as many online votes as possible to bring the concert series to town. Community support, as measured by the number of online votes received, will be one of the key factors when the Levitt Foundation selects up to 15 winners.
Supporters are asked to go here to to register and vote. Online public voting is now open and ends November 20 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The Top 25 finalists will be selected through online public voting. The Levitt Foundation will then review the proposals of these 25 finalists and will select up to 15 Levitt AMP winners, which will be announced on Dec. 18, 2018.
“We have been very fortunate to have received this grant for the past three years and have enjoyed bringing the different silos of our community together each week for a barrier free event for all to enjoy,” said Executive Director Gina Lopez Hill, “we would love the opportunity to do it again for Carson City.”
Brewery Arts Center asks supporters to start spreading the word to family, friends, colleagues and neighbors and rally the community to sign up and vote for Carson City’s proposal. See http://levittamp.org to learn more about the concert series.
