Demo continued

The most recent volunteer extravaganza on Saturday September 25th was not only productive, but tons of fun.  The upstairs wall demo is complete!  Thanks to all the people who came out and contributed their muscles and sweat.  Next volunteer session is this coming Sunday, October 3rd.

Kiggins Theater Demolition

On September 17th, 2010: Local Vancouverites gathered to help deconstruct the upper floor office in Kiggins theater. This room contained 1960's wood paneling and other add ons that had obscured the original 1936 architecture. The team ripped out walls & the false ceiling while neatly stacking reusable materials for upcoming additions. Overall, the teamwork was inspiring, proving the power of collaboration for the arts.
