Theater Seating Campaign — Seats in the Studio Theater at $500 /seat As a component of the broad -based fundraising campaign, the PCAF created a sponsorship program for each of the seats in the 227 -seat Firehouse Arts Center Theater.

Garden Patio Brick Campaign — Commemorative Bricks at $150 /brick PCAF has conducted a commemorative brick sales campaign. Bricks may be purchased with the option of a short inscription with their name or name of a loved one etc. Bricks will be placed at grade level in the Garden Patio adjacent to the historic brick firehouse structure. The area and brick placement was collaboratively designed with the help of ELS Architecture and Urban design, PCAF, O'Connor Construction Management, and city staff. Bras & Mattos Monument Company completed the brick inscriptions and the general contractor for the Firehouse Arts Center project, W.A. Thomas Company, will complete the installations. Donor Recognition Wall Architects from ELS Architecture and Urban Design, city staff, and the PCAF, worked to identify and design a site in the Firehouse Arts Center lobby to display a plaque and /or feature recognizing donors. It was agreed that the Donor Recognition Wall should result in a unique piece of public art that would transcend the usual recognition plaques. Artist and blacksmith Jill Turman was selected to develop a design for the Donor Recognition Wall, wall plaques and seating sponsor plaques (Attachment 3). The design drawings and samples have been reviewed and approved by the PCAF and Civic Arts Commission (Attachment 5). The Donor Recognition Wall will be consistent in design, style, and materials of the building's main entrance signage, which were also designed by Ms. Turman. The Donor Recognition Wall is a 16 -foot, mixed metal bas - relief sculpture designed to incorporate the names of private and corporate donors who have given a minimum of $5,000 toward the Firehouse Arts Center (Attachment 4). Currently, 46 donors have made contributions of $5,000 or more. The unique feature of this particular design allows for names to be added as future donations are received without appearing incomplete in its current state. Donors will receive an identical plaque as a keepsake. It is anticipated that the Donor Recognition Wall will be part of the City's Public Art collection and a major feature of the Grand Lobby and Theater area. Page 3 of 4
