Your support is needed

Art has the power to transform individuals and communities.
This year's Give to the Max Day on November 12th please consider making a contribution to Victoria Theater Arts Initiative. Your contribution will go directly towards creating a center where residents of Frogtown and Summit-University can share their creative talents with their neighbors and the rest of the region. This grassroots effort headed up by local residents along with leaders at the Frogtown Neighborhood Association. Over the past several years VTAI has been working to turn a long vacant historic theater near University Avenue and Victoria into a community-owned venue with space for visual and performing arts. Your donation towards this project will help create a stronger, more beautiful community in Frogtown and Summit-University. |

If you Missed the design parties
The Victoria Theater Arts Initiative hosted two Design Parties to gather input from residents that will inform the architectural plans for the space.
Please share your ideas for the Victoria Theater with us. Architectural renderings of the space will revealed late summer 2015!
Please take a moment to show how important this project is to you.
The petition will be delivered to the Capital Improvement Budget Committee (CIB)
during the June 1st City Hall public hearing:
To the Capital Improvement Budget Committee (CIB) of Saint Paul & Mayor Chris Coleman
Imagine stepping off the Green Line platform at Victoria Station and greeting a new performance center that captures the spirit of one of St. Paul’s oldest neighborhoods by celebrating its diversity, highlighting new talent and engaging audiences from all corners of the city and beyond through diverse, accessible cultural events.
This dream can be a reality but we need your help. For the last few years the Victoria Theater Arts Initiative has been working to transform the long vacant Victoria Theater (825 University) into a vibrant community owned performance space.
Recently the VTAI submitted a $400,000 request to the Capital Improvement Budget of the City of St. Paul. This money would allow us to purchase the building from the Twin Cities Community Land Bank and do some much need stabilization of the building. Ultimately it will be the mayor and City Council who make this decision about this money and we want them to know how important this project is to the community. Please sign this petition to show the CIB Committee mayor and City Council how important this project is to the neighborhood and the city!
