Working to bring a world-class theater to our community
to share the joy of the performing arts, theater, dance and music to our little corner of the world.
Match Grant Opportunity!
The Sutter Performing Arts Association’s goal of having the Black Box open in 2018 was successful thanks in part to the many contributors to the Match Grant Opportunity of 2018. Your generous gifts of $40,000 were matched dollar for dollar for a total of $80,000.
The Association is very grateful to our anonymous donors who provided not only the match resources, but also the inspiration to initiate this grant and then challenge others to join. And join you did! Thank you so much again and stop by sometime to see our wonderful Black Box! It will soon be a jewel in our community.
