AN INSPIRING HOME FOR MUSICIANS AND PERFORMERS
THE ARTS DISTRICT
THE ARTS DISTRICT
This dynamic center will be a new home for Highlander musicians and performers. The Arts District will feature extensively renovated spaces for Orchestra, Band, Chorus, and Performing Arts.
All project designs are subject to change.
