An Excellent Expansion

The Reilly Arts Center announces several recent contributions to its major expansion project from Frank J. DeLuca, NOMA Records and NOMA Gallery. DeLuca and NOMA join a list of several other donors who have provided more than $2.4 million in support for the expansion to date.

Frank J. DeLuca donated $250,000 to the project, with a gift that will name the new north lobby. The Frank J. DeLuca Grand Lobby is now the main entrance for guests attending events at the Reilly’s Main Stage theatre or new areas.  This new expansive space is also the home of a box office, expanded bar and concessions and several gathering areas.

NOMA Records and NOMA Gallery are contributing $250,000 over a five-year partnership that will include the naming of the new 4,000 square foot multi-use theatre with annual collaborative events and programming in the space. The NOMA Black Box at the Reilly Arts Center, will host everything from musical and theatrical performances to art installations, community events and banquets, while bringing a fresh element of arts and entertainment to the Reilly Arts Center campus.

Significant donation and naming opportunities are still available. The Reilly Arts Center is seeking major donations of $500,000 and $200,000 to name the 709-seat Mainstage Theatre and the East Reception Hall and Galleries, respectively. Pledge payments and termed corporate sponsorships are also available. To learn more about support and naming opportunities, contact Pamela Calero Wardell, Executive Director, at pamela@reillyartscenter.com or 352-351-1606, ext. 102.
