Field Hall’s ‘ALL IN’ Capital Campaign Nears Finish Line with Community Celebration Planned
Port Angeles performing arts venue has raised more than $11.6 million toward a $12 million goal; free public event set for June 13
PORT ANGELES, WA — Field Arts & Events Hall announced that its “ALL IN” capital campaign has surpassed $11.6 million raised toward a $12 million goal, leaving $380,000 remaining. To celebrate, Field Hall will host “Field Day,” a free outdoor block party on Oak Street on Saturday, June 13.
“We are committed to offering world-class experiences at a price our community can afford. This community has shown time and time again that it is willing to invest in the arts, and we are deeply grateful.” Steve Raider-Ginsburg, Executive and Artistic Director.
The initial $10 million phase retired pandemic-era construction costs and secured the building as a permanent community asset. The $1.9 million public phase targets operational priorities, including financial accessibility and artistic programming. Launched on March 10th, the public campaign now has a remaining goal of $380,000.
Remaining funds will support #fieldhallforall programs including financial assistance and Peninsula Performs! arts education, as well as artistic excellence initiatives including presenting nationally recognized artists, like Pink Martini, Flynn Creek Circus, and Judy Collins,and the development of new work.
The campaign has drawn support from private donors and public sources. 75% of funds have come through private donations, with leadership gifts from the Dorothy Field Estate, Laura Cooksey, Suzie Nunley in loving memory of Don Nunley, along with donors who wish to remain anonymous. 25% has come from government grants, including a $1,000,000 from the USDA Community Facilities Program and $1,950,000 from the Washington Department of Commerce. More than 200 individuals have contributed.
Donors of $5,000 or more are eligible for naming recognition of building features, from individual theater seats to the lobby staircase and Sunset Lounge. All donors will be recognized on the Field Hall website and digital lobby screens.
“Field Day” is a day to celebrate the generosity and the near-completion of the campaign, taking place Saturday, June 13 from 1-5pm on Oak Street between Railroad and Front Streets in downtown Port Angeles. The free, all-ages event features live performances by Cirque Kikasse and Abracadabra Trip, a communal table stretching the length of the block, a beer garden, and food. All events are open to the public. No tickets are required.
