Holiday Jazz After Hours Cinema Arts Centre Fundraiser

John Mitty Monday, December 10, 2012

$10 suggested minimum donation at the door (you can pay more if you want to!) enjoy live music, wine, hot chocolate and cookies.

The Barr Sinister Jazz Group will play live Holiday Jazz After Hours in the Sky Room Cafe to benefit the Vic Skolnick Life of the Cinema Campaign to support the Cinema Arts Centre’s programs, operations and to help purchase digital projection equipment for the three CAC theaters, on Friday, December 21 at 9:45pm to midnight at Cinema Arts Centre, 423 Park Ave, Huntington. 631-423-7610. www.CinemaArtsCentre.org

Wine generously provided by Bottles & Cases.

Entering it’s 40^th year, the Cinema Arts Centre faces an extraordinary challenge. In addition to raising vital funds for programs and operations, CAC must also raise funds to equip three theaters with digital projection equipment.

In 2013, new motion pictures will no longer be produced and distributed on film. The Cinema Arts Centre must be prepared to present all American and foreign cinema in digital format by purchasing new projectors in all three theaters at a cost of $186,000. This means that CAC must more than double the goal of its annual appeal, the Vic Skolnick Life of the Cinema Campaign, and raise $220,000.

Named in memory of Co-Founder Vic Skolnick, who spoke so often about getting people more engaged in the Life of the Cinema, this campaign is a clear and direct way for members and supporters to have a meaningful impact on the Cinema and to ensure it’s future.

Fully tax-deductible contributions will allow us to continue to present high-quality film programs and special events, offer the Film Arts in Education program to thousands of public school students each year, and purchase the digital projection equipment needed to keep operating.
