Lewisville Center for the Creative Arts
Lewisville, Texas
The development of the Lewisville Center for the Creative Arts is a principal component of the revitalization of the downtown, or “Old Town,” area of Lewisville. The goal is to use the Center as a tool to enhance activity in the downtown area while simultaneously providing a much-needed facility for various community arts organizations.
The 38,460-square-foot project will feature the following:
- 300-seat proscenium theater with fly loft and support spaces
- 3,000-square-foot black box Theater with support spaces
- 2,400-square-foot multi-purpose rehearsal Hall
- 2,400-square-foot art gallery
- Five 400-sqaure-foot art studios with access to adjacent outdoor studio plaza
- Arts Administration offices
- Catering kitchen
- 100’ x 140’ entry courtyard equipped for outdoor theatrical productions, festivals, ceremonies, and social receptions
The Center for the Creative Arts, which is expected to be completed in August 2010, will provide an anchor to the west end of “Old Town,” while a new rail transit center station will be located at the east end. These two activity magnets anchoring both ends of “Old Town” will encourage the redevelopment of the downtown area between them with shops, restaurants and public services.
