Latino Cultural Arts Center has a home in La Alma Lincoln Park with Las Bodegas, an intergenerational creative hub for digital and visual arts programs. But first: It needs more donors.
After tabling original plans to build one three-story building to house all LCAC concerns, founder Adrianna Abarca donated the adjacent warehouse spaces that are now slated to become Las Bodegas. Simply having the land is a meaningful step forward.
Now on the precipice of its development, the future center will be open to the public for free pre-construction walk-throughs of the facility’s empty spaces every Thursday in August , from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. There's also a pitch: “We are encouraging people to come see the space as a diamond in the rough," Reyes explains,"and also to ask them to become monthly donors.
With that folded in, the LCAC will likely need further funding as Las Bodegas is built out, according to Reyes: “We still need another $2.7 million to close the construction gap and be able to have a significant operational cushion once it’s built.” He says the program will focus on the film industry, which has been courted by Colorado for decades with little success. But he thinks hard instruction for young artists in a multimedia lab will make a difference. “So far that future is only high-quality videography. There are not enough professionals here who have the competency to tell stories in a talented, engaging way," he explains.
