Help us Save the Pease Conservatory!
The Pease Conservatory is a Sacramento treasure that has been nurturing the city's love for music and the arts for over 100 years. Built in 1899 and renovated as a music school in 1921, Pease is the oldest continuously operating music school in Sacramento and has been providing music lessons to our community for generations.
This beloved landmark is also home to the intimate W.J. Geery Theater, which has hosted award-winning productions since the 1970s. From its days as "The Show Below" to its current role as a community performance venue, this unique space has played a significant part in Sacramento's cultural heritage.
Today, the Sacramento Institute for Music & the Arts calls the Pease home, continuing the legacy of arts education and performance. But we need your help to ensure this treasured building remains a vibrant hub of creativity for generations to come. Our goal is to raise the funds necessary to purchase the building, make necessary repairs and renovations to ensure the building's longevity, and to establish an endowment fund to support both the building and it's scholarship programs.
To change lives and connect the community through maintaining and expanding high quality, accessible music, arts, and education programming. Our mission has expaned this year to include saving the Pease Conservatory, ensuring that it remains a cultural landmark for music education for future generations.
Our immediate goal is to now purchase and restore the Pease Conservatory. Ultimately, we need to hire a full time operations manager.
While we are striving towards these big goals, we hope to be able to continue to support families in need by providing full and part time lesson scholarships and instrument loans through our Venturi Instrument Library. We are maintaining our programs such as Fiddle Club, our Adult Strings Community Ensemble, Music in the Park and other community workshops and events.
We respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard. We're committed to modeling diversity and inclusion for the entire arts industry of the nonprofit sector, and to maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all.
