Overview
BlackRock Center for the Arts was founded in 2002 after the developer of Germantown town center donated land for the facility. It has an annual budget of $1.1 million. Since 2022 Katie Hecklinger[3] has served as Chief Executive Officer. The 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2) facility includes an art gallery, a 210-seat proscenium theater, a dance studio, a black box studio theater, a second-floor display gallery, music rooms, and visual art classrooms. It has 11 full-time and 23 part-time staff members.[4] The center provides a range of music, dance, and arts classes, and camps,[5] and presents a season of music, dance, and family-oriented performances.[6]
In April 2013 it was announced that blues singer and guitarist John Hammond would provide a guitar workshop at the center.[7][8]
