You have questions. We have answers.

For regular updates, we invite you to visit our blog, follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and to join our mailing list. In the meantime, here are some answers to commonly asked questions.

How will the community make use of Brannan Center?

Brannan Center has been designed to be a modern, multipurpose venue for everyone in our community. Community groups will be able to rent the space at affordable prices for their meetings, classes, activities, and fundraisers. Individuals will be able to rent space for private events such as weddings, quinceañeras, holiday parties, and more.

How can local artists and arts groups take advantage of Brannan Center?

Brannan Center was designed to address the lack of space for rehearsals and performances by arts groups in our community, and the space will be available to community arts organizations, commercial arts presenters, and individual artists to rent. Brannan Center will contain two performances venues that can accommodate between 100 – 180 people.

In addition to being a rental venue, what kind of programming will Brannan Center offer?

Brannan Center will also be presenting its own series of performances, classes, workshops, and other enrichment activities. We plan to have a variety of offerings that will be accessible to everyone.

What does the renovation entail?

The building requires an extensive renovation to bring it up to contemporary codes and standards, transforming the historic building into a flexible, multi-purpose community center and state-of-the art live performance venue.

How much of my donation directly supports this cause?

100% of your donation goes toward the construction and/or operation of Brannan Center, a non-profit 501c(3) organization in California.

When will the Brannan Center Open?

Our team broke ground on March 18, 2023. Construction is progressing on schedule with an opening anticipated for Fall of 2025, barring delays due to weather, supply chain, or funding.
