SFU Contemporary Arts at Woodward's receives $1 million in Canada Cultural Spaces fundingJames Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, today announced that SFU Contemporary Arts at Woodward's will receive $1 million in funding through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage. The money will support the school's two largest performance spaces: the 450-seat Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre and another 350-seat cinema that is still unnamed. Both of the facilities will be used by the professional arts community and made available to the general public. They will give more Canadians access to the performing arts by increasing the number of high-quality, technologically advanced, mid-sized theatres in Vancouver. Public programming at the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre will open with Robert Lepage's The Blue Dragon/Le Dragon Bleu in February 2010 as part of the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad. Tickets are available at http://www.sfuwoodwards.ca/. A $30-million fundraising campaign is underway to ensure SFU Contemporary Arts at Woodward's becomes a vital component of Vancouver's artistic, cultural and economic future. Close to $19 million has been raised to date, including a $3-million gift from campaign chair and SFU chancellor emeritus, Milton Wong. To learn more about gifting opportunities, including naming the cinema, contact Chris Arnet at arnet@sfu.ca or 778.782.5304.
