Beverly Art Center Financial Problems



Emanuel and 19th Ward Ald. Matt O’Shea announced plans for a Beverly Arts Center Challenge, a campaign to raise $500,000 from community residents to save the cultural center.

The center’s financial problems apparently stem from a 2002 building campaign that was projected to cost $7 million initially, but cost $12 million.

Fifth Third Bank, which holds the loan on the property, was about to foreclose when Emanuel intervened and the bank offered to reduce the arts center’s debt by $2 million if citizens, businesses and philanthropic donors raised $500,000 in one year.
