Solvang Theaterfest unveils new mural in honor of donors
SOLVANG, Calif. - The Solvang Theaterfest unveiled a new mural on Thursday.
The wall-sized banner was inspired by local artists Suzi Matthies and Barbara Young and can be found on the theater wall facing Second Street.
The unveiling event kicked off the final phase of the Capital Campaign and honored donors.
The mural includes a list of the names of all donors to the campaign so far as well as room to add future donors.
"We're really looking forward to a new Solvang Festival Theater of enhanced performance, enhanced comfort and it will be around for another five decades at least," said Solvang Theaterfest Board Chair Chris Nielsen.
The mural will be up for the entire summer.
The Theaterfest said it has surpassed 72% of their Capital Campaign's goal of raising $4.7 million for the theater rebuilding project.
The project is set to begin construction in September 2021.
