The theater itself boasts a large seating capacity, stage and holoprojector. It is the perfect location for concerts, small theater productions, lectures, film, lectures, and other events. This space is available to rent for special events. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]- Weaver Gallery/Ballroom: This is the largest gallery space available at the Bell Center, and is reserved for the most prestigious works of art. However, this room also functions as a wonderful gathering space for fundraisers, dances, and other social events. While this room is available to rent by the hour, it also features a high damage deposit. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]- Classrooms/Offices: The Bell center is home to a large number of workshops and classes dedicated to various art forms: painting, sculpture, mixed media, music, and language arts. There are five class rooms and an adjoining office area used by the staff of Bell Center and the First Order Arts and Culture Commission. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]History[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]: The goal of the Bell Center has always existed to serve as a leading resource for arts, education, and cultural activities in Cloud City. However, with the recent formation of the First Order Arts and Culture Commission, this location has become a booming community of creative minds. A notable member of the ACC and Cultural Ambassador Program is Marzena Choi. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]In addition to the regular offerings of the Bell Center, the ACC has also brought a focus to outreach programs. Some of the new offerings include:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]- Art and Wine Walk: This takes place the first Friday of every month during Spring and Summer. Artists are encouraged to register at the Bell Center to participate in these casual exhibitions. Anyone is welcome to exhibit and sell their works, but preference is given to First Order Citizen Artists. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]- Citizen Artist Program: Join the artists that show a strong commitment to the First Order and promoting their way of life through art and culture. Potential members must submit a portfolio of 15 works for review by the Arts and Culture Commission - these works must be tasteful, impeccable, and patriotic. Only those that represent the First Order in the best light are given the title of Citizen Artist. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]- Cultural Ambassador Program: These volunteers are highly dedicated to art, culture and promoting the social stability offered by the First Order. While the Bell Center serves as the main location for this program, the goal of these individuals is to spread their creative movement to other worlds within First Order space and beyond. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Intent[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]: To create a landmark location IC flavor, and to develop the Arts and Culture Commission. [/SIZE]
