The non-profit killer: 'Facility Depreciation' featuring Cyrus Pace (Roanoke, VA pop. 98,865) Small Town Big Arts
-
- Arts
This month we tackle the issues around maintaining an arts facility. If you are looking to build or renovate a building for the arts or have a building you deliver the arts through, this episode is worth a listen. Leading an organization that can both deliver its mission effectively and budget for facility depreciation is very difficult. We speak with Cyrus Pace at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke, VA (pop.98,865) to discuss in depth the struggles that many of us face and a recent study one of Cyrus' graduate students from Virginia Tech conducted around the successful business models of comparable historic theaters.
I am particularly excited to share this conversation because during the darkest days of COVID Cyrus and I formed a bond. We began a bi-weekly Zoom call to strategize and to supply each other emotional and psychological support. Even post COVID, we continue these meetings because of their utility to our ongoing work. Bringing one of our conversations to Small Town/Big Arts seems like the perfect way to begin the new subject matter format of the podcast.
