MISSION
To enrich the quality of life and promote education, culture, and enlightened learning in the Jacksonville area by providing a multi-functional place where residents and visitors can meet and enjoy a broad spectrum of events and experiences
ENRICHING OUR COMMUNITY...
We have long understood the need for a central place in which our community can gather to learn, share, sing, dance, play music, and revel in all all that we have that makes us who we are. Over the years we have left no stone unturned in our effort to find that special place.
We believe the restoration of the historic Illinois Theater will achieve this goal.
