FROM ONE CULTURAL CENTER TO ANOTHER: SUPPORTING ARTS IN NEPA: Scranton, PA -- Sept. 20th, 2011 -- The Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple will host a benefit exhibit to raise money to help restore and rebuild the Dietrich Theatre in Tunkhannock. The Dietrich Theatre (the Wyoming County Cultural Center) was recently devastated by record flooding. Estimated costs to restore and repair are close to $100,000.
The exhibit will take place Oct. 7th, in conjunction with Scranton's First Friday, as well as, the kickoff of the SCC Electric City Listen Local series. The free exhibit will begin at 5pm on the 4th floor Shopland Hall and run through 8pm. Money will be raised through individual donations, sale of artwork and a bake sale. Donations will be accepted until 10pm.
Photographs in the exhibit were taken by writer/photographer and Tunkhannock native, Dale Wilsey Jr.
All proceeds will go directly to the Dietrich Theatre.
How's the Dietrich Theater now? I'm certain that the benefit exhibit was a successful one, and the after-flood renovation must have already begun. How much did the exhibit rake in for the renovation of the theater?
The Dietrich is back in full swing and it looks as beautiful as ever. My gallery made approximately $500.
