The Eastside's Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex enters a new era as one of the first sites to benefit from Austin’s Cultural Trust.
The Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex: the East Austin cultural hub aims to renovate its old cinema into a live performance space.
The plans involve renovating that cinema space as well as adding a performance space that will be open to the community. The money for the trust comes from different avenues. In 2018, voters approved a proposition allocating a $12 million to acquiring and improving creative spaces. The trust also has received $2.4 million from the Hotel Occupancy Tax Funds and $2.5 million from a City of Austin allocation. John Riedie, the chief executive officer of the Austin Creative Alliance, said that keeping the arts alive requires more than a paintbrush and a dream.
Haynes explained that the advisory committee chose the two projects to start with as they are fairly easy to complete and are city-owned properties. “They appealed to us because you were taking an existing sitting facility and you were making it more utilizable by a lot of different organizations. … We thought that enhancing a city owned facility was the best chance to stick around for the long term.
