The transformation of the original Edmonds High School auditorium into the new Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) was completed on schedule and on budget in October, 2006. That same month, local arts groups and rental clients began to appear on the ECA stage. However, we continue to seek the support of our community to help complete the “Bringing the Arts to Life” Capital Campaign. Approximately $15.7M in public and private funds has been raised to meet our total project goal of $18.5M. Of that number, $2M has been raised from individuals, corporations and foundations who, because of their support, have played a major role in making this community dream a reality. It is only through the generosity, vision and leadership of community members like you that we will be able to finish the first phase of renovations and continue to develop ECA into the thriving community resource it was designed to be.
