Panel on Capitol Hill's Future Tonight @ 5:30

For all those interested, tonight the Capitol Hill Arts Center will be hosting a panel discussion with the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce on the topic of "Is there still room for culture on Capitol Hill?" The impetus behind the event is the generally rapacious rate of condo-conversion and construction that's pushed out notable businesses along Pike/Pine, and now finds its apogee in the sale of Oddfellows Hall, which threatens to displace a number of arts organizations that took advantage of the low rents. Without access to such buildings, arts organizations could face a rapid exodus from Capitol Hill, hastening its transformation to yuppie-land. All those interested should attend.

Panel from 5:30 - 7 // Showroom Theatre // 1621 12th Ave.
