Willard Arts Center Gets Flooring Upgrade

The Willard Arts Center sees a lot of traffic: With top-notch, nationally touring performers providing high-quality entertainment on stage year-round. Recently the Idaho Falls Arts Council updated the backstage space, but there was still some flooring in the dressing rooms, hallway, stairs, and kitchen area that desperately needed to be replaced. After serving for almost 3 decades, much of the floor was worn out, unsightly, and unsafe. CHC Foundation provided a grant that helped make a flooring update possible. 

"This grant has had a significant impact on the backstage experience in the Colonial Theater!" shares Georgina Goodlander, Visual Arts Director. "The flooring in the dressing rooms and kitchen were in extremely poor shape and did not reflect well on our organization. The new floors look wonderful and we are no longer embarrassed to have artists and groups use the spaces. In addition, the kitchen floor and stairs are now much safer."
