The opportunity to serve as Operator of the Chateau Theater would allow us to bring our community and its visitors together in a central gathering place, through collaborative programming with a wide variety of partner organizations. We have proven to be a nimble and responsive partner as community needs change and creative opportunities arise. Through numerous events and passive programs, we have become a trusted resource for arts and culture experiences in Rochester. We have found success in collaborating with hundreds of local partners to bring community members together. This space has become a tremendous resource for artists in the Rochester area, providing retail and exhibition opportunities in a community-facing location. We opened a retail storefront and gallery in the Paine Furniture building on South Broadway to provide an place for local artists to sell and show their work when other avenues (art fairs, pop-up vending) had disappeared as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, we shifted our focus to providing opportunities to local artists through public art installations and virtual and outdoor programs. Together with our partners, we created a welcoming and inclusive space where community members and visitors could interact with artists at work, enjoy concerts, theatre, and other performances, participate in variety of classes and workshops, attend social events, shop for unique local and handmade items, work, and play. Threshold Arts was a key partner in the renovation of downtown Rochester’s former Armory building into the Castle – a multi-use community gathering place with an arts and culture focus.
