As part of its year-long 50th anniversary celebration, CAPA has partnered with the Lincoln Theatre Association to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Lincoln Theatre’s grand reopening with a free community open house on Sunday, April 14. Since its reopening in 2009 after a $13.5 million, CAPA-led renovation, the Lincoln Theatre has become a multi-use, state-of-the-art performing arts and education center impacting the community through its educational programming and incubation of local artists. This free open house event will offer live performances from Lincoln incubation artists and resident arts groups, as well as hands-on children’s activities, a visual art display of works from local artists, and complimentary refreshments.
CAPA and the Lincoln Theatre Association present the Lincoln Theatre’s 10th Anniversary Community Open House at the Lincoln Theatre (769 E. Long St.) on Sunday, April 14, from 2-5 pm. Admission is free, and seating is general admission.
CAPA’s 50th anniversary celebration is made possible through the generous support of the American Electric Power Foundation and Nationwide, with special support provided by Huntington Bank.
In addition to activities and information tables throughout the venue, the Lincoln Theatre boardroom will display artwork from local artists, and the second-floor ballroom will provide children’s activities including hands-on arts and crafts, face painting, an interactive dance session, and more.
The main-stage schedule is as follows:
2:15 pm Thiossane West African Dance Institute
3:15 pm Jazz Arts Group’s Columbus Youth Jazz Lab Combo
4:15 pm Lincoln Incubation Artist Creative Cuts
