Support Tupper Arts' "Encore" Capital Campaign
PRESS RELEASE - ENCORE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE (12/31/23)
Tupper Arts is delighted to announce that the Encore Campaign to raise funds to purchase the Adirondack State Theater has been a huge success. The support from the community has been overwhelmingly strong. The anonymous matching donation of $75,000 has been met, even exceeding our goal of $200,000. Locals, visitors, and seasonal residents have stepped up to save this important resource in Tupper Lake. Tupper Arts will be closing on the property shortly and looks forward to beginning renovations on this iconic structure. Susan Delehanty, Chair of the Tupper Arts Board of Directors, expresses her gratitude to the community for making this campaign so successful, “ We are so grateful to everyone who has supported this cause. Thanks to their generosity, the Adirondack State Theater will be saved and will continue to serve the community for the next century.”
