The Palm Coast Arts Foundation plans to build an outdoor stage and pavilion in Town Center in time for the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra’s mid-April Picnics and Pops concert, with construction of an arts center to follow as part of a new deal with the city that expands the foundation’s land and the length of its lease.
The Palm Coast City Council approved the 10-year, $1-a-year lease in a City Council meeting Tuesday, Sept. 30.
Palm Coast Arts Foundation President Sam Perkovich said the foundation received a $150,000 grant that will fund construction of the 32,000-foot outdoor amphitheater, which will hold about three times the number of tables the Arts Foundation was able to fit into the pops concert’s previous venue at Central Park.
Subsequent phases of construction, for which the Arts Foundation is applying for grants now, would roof the outdoor pavilion’s band shell, then create a 19,000-square-foot indoor event space and, eventually, a three-auditorium, 2,200-seat arts center capable of handling performances that require a large stage.
