Summary
In 2016 the Beaver Island Cultural Arts Association received a $7,500 Charlevoix County Community Foundation grant for orchestral risers for the Baroque on Beaver Festival Orchestra.1
Venue transition
The report says BICAA began moving festival performances to the Beaver Island Community School gymnasium in 2015 to accommodate growing attendance. This provides an infrastructure and venue-transition record, not a complete history of all festival locations or a proof that the equipment was purchased and used. 1
Open questions
- Were the risers purchased, and which performances used them?
- Which records document the school gymnasium’s capacity, dates of use, and relationship to earlier church and Community Center venues?
