Input Wanted! Name the New Performing Arts Center

FCS is seeking a name for the new centralized performing arts center located on the campus of the Board of Education and Professional Development Center north of the city of Cumming.

Opening in late 2021, this two-story facility will support the fine arts programs at our 38 schools with much needed performance space and serve as a location for in-county field trips. In addition to the building’s main 1,800 seat performance hall and orchestra pit that are designed to support a wide-range of programs and activities, the versatile facility will have a black box theatre, rehearsal rooms that can also be used for event/meeting space, dressing and green rooms, catering kitchen and lobby with gallery space. The center will also provide diverse arts, entertainment, educational, business, and civic opportunities for Forsyth County’s 237,000 residents and surrounding communities.
