New Live Music Venue!
Over this last summer, the Community Arts Council of Prince George and District and Trinity United Church have been working together to transform Trinity Downtown (formerly Knox United Church) into a venue for live music and events.
Trinity Downtown has a historical role in building the community of Prince George, and it will continue with that role with these new developments. Being the oldest Protestant Church is Prince George, its got some big shoes to fill! Trinity United has already started making changes to increase engagement, stage space, and sight-lines, but it has more ambitious plans to expand further.
“The need for a mid-sized music and event venue located in the downtown core was strongly identified during the early planning stages for our new Creative Hub”, says Sean Farrell, CAC Executive Director. “And with the pressing need for new arts spaces being continuously and vocally expressed, especially in the last six months, we believe that we are offering a unique partnership and opportunity to revitalize a much beloved heritage space into a first-class venue that can serve a wide range of emerging and professional performers.”
They are also planning to integrate recording, green screen production, and live-streaming into the services they already offer. Providing infrastructure to support art and performance groups, and to allow them to connect with their audience is a top priority.
“Trinity United Church has a long history of engaging the community in ways that reach beyond Sunday morning,” says Rev. Dr. Bob K Fillier. “The arts have always been part of who we are and a cornerstone for a vibrant and healthy community. We are so excited by the opportunities that will come with a potential partnership with the CAC to turn our downtown campus into a vibrant new cultural space that will help us live out our core values and serve the community for years to come and sustain the legacy of the Knox site as being a centerpiece of downtown life.”
Stay tuned for the planned site tour and meeting with PG’s performing arts community members coming sometime this October.
