Naming Opportunities
The Arts Exchange offers donors have a number of naming opportunities. Through naming opportunities, donors may honor a family, an individual, or an organization.
The Arts Exchange $2,000,000
This spectacular building and thriving arts complex can be named. While we wish to retain some element of our branded name, The Arts Exchange, we can include sponsors' names to the building.
The Castle $1,000,000
The Armory’s head house, commonly referred to as the Castle, is the home of the Jacqueline M. Walsh School for the Performing and Visual Arts – the first public high school in Rhode Island devoted to arts education that accepts students solely through an audition process.
The Central Performance Hall $750,000
A central performance hall and backstage support space (7,000 square feet) will be created in the heart of The Arts Exchange. This performance space is envisioned to be occupied primarily by The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre.
The Civic Hall $500,000
An open, largely unmodified, approximately 4,000 square foot space will serve as both a lobby to the Central Performance Hall and as flexible space for special performance events (concerts, dance, visual art, film) and civic functions. The space will be equipped with a catering kitchen (for warming) and a bar.
The Annex $500,000
A 130-seat theatre with lobby and support space (total of 4500 square feet) currently occupied by The Gamm Theatre. Upon completion of the entire renovation, it will become a versatile performance venue.
Rehearsal Hall $150,000
A 1,000 square foot room on the ground floor will be used by artists as rehearsal space and by the arts high school as instructional space.
Specialized Spaces $50,000 - $100,000
Assorted additional spaces will be used as dressing rooms, instructional studios, artist studios, offices, possible recording space and for other arts and education purposes. These spaces will be presented individually to interested parties.
Permanent Art Collection in The Arts Exchange $2,500 – $50,000
Opportunities are available to sponsor individual pieces of art created by the region’s finest artists. These works of art will be displayed in public spaces throughout The Arts Exchange.
The Armory Garden $250 - $2,500
A public garden will be established between the Civic Hall and the Annex. Garden sculptures, perennial plantings, benches and inscribed bricks are available for sponsorship.
All gifts of $1,000 or more given during the term of the Capital Campaign will be acknowledged on a plaque to be prominently displayed in The Arts Exchange.
