Likely new plan for the theater and annex building. Both are being considered for audio & video studio use. Historic buildings that lost their usefulness may be repuprosed using 21st century technology.

We cleaned up the front gallery today. Plaster repairs and paint are soon to begin. What colors would you paint our social space? We are thinking something bright that compliments the primary colors in the windows.

Looking forward to seeing the gallery walls a different color. Antique bronze light fixtures will be installed. We are keeping the flooring, wood work, and stained glass as is.

COVID-19 put the brakes on getting work started at the theater but it will not stop us from seeing the plan through.

The Bay Area Center for the Arts will be established within a year and receive 501c3 status. In Tune Design studio will be operating in the theater's annex building in 2022. Church Street Guitars will be my first project developed out of the studio.
