Exciting Updates at Sturges‑Young Center for the Arts!
As part of Restoring Our Vision: The Road to Restoration Project, SYCA is making improvements that enhance safety, accessibility, and the overall experience for our community.
What’s new? - Stage Extension – Now complete! The expanded stage adds space, improves performer safety, and allows for new front‑and‑center seating.
Front Entry Renovation – Larger doors and updated lighting are underway and expected to be completed later this summer.
Funding Support –These projects are made possible in part by the Newell A. & Grace A. Franks Fund of the Sturgis Area Community Foundation, awarded to SYCA in 2025.
“The renovation of the front entry will provide us with larger doors along with updated lighting, creating a more accessible and welcoming first impression for our patrons. Our front doors are more than an entryway. With the success of the SYCA Performance Series, Friday Social Night, the continuing partnerships with the schools, Wind Symphony, and Civic Players, and the increase in community private events, they have become a true gateway to connection, creativity, and shared community experiences.”
– Jamie Eymer, SYCA Director
Thank you for supporting the arts and being part of SYCA’s future—we can’t wait to welcome you through our new doors!
