38. Performing Arts Center Most respondents attended a performance within the past year; many attended two or more per year. Music was most popular (symphonic/classical, jazz/blues, and rock/pop/r&b/soul). Theater was second most popular. Many respondents traveled to Fort Worth, Dallas, and other places in the Mid-Cities to catch shows. Respondents indicated these same types of performances, as well as country/bluegrass/old time music and theatrical comedies, would find an audience in Southlake.

39. Performing Arts Center Southlake is smaller (in population) Performing arts centers support a range of activities: rehearsal, performance and exhibitions; meetings, conferences and corporate functions; even weddings. Few are used for arts classes or touring out-of-town arts productions. Smaller performing arts centers have a staff of about three; larger centers had a staff of six to twenty-five. Operating budgets for city-owned centers range from $350,000 up. In general, public subsidy supports about half or more of operating budgets (from 40% in Richardson to 88% in Garland)

40. Consult with APEX, Arts Council Northeast, and other organizations currently presenting performing arts programs about future programming needs Assess arts organizations in Southlake or nearby who would book space or use the space as a resident facility, what type of space they would need, and the demand that would generate. Assess the space demand for arts education (classes, recitals, etc.) Assess market for conference and meeting space Performing Arts Center – Next Steps
