The Peace Center has long been an iconic downtown landmark and completely changed the downtown arts and theatre landscape. Now, they’re doing it again by AMP-ing up their presence with a newly planned project.
AMP (A Music Project) will transform the Peace Center campus into a fully-functioning, ten-venue art and entertainment campus.
So what does this entail? AMP will repurpose three buildings on the Peace Center campus and will include:
The Mockingbird: A 250-capacity listening lounge with a casual, intimate setting for artists and audiences to closely connect.
Artist Dorm: A three-bedroom, three-bathroom dorm with a kitchen and lounge area. This “dorm” may be utilized by artists performing in any Peace Center venue and will be particularly attractive to those participating in residencies and week-long engagements.
The Studio: A professional podcast and recording studio utilized by the Peace Center to produce original programs and content, by visiting and local artists who wish to rent a professional studio, and as a laboratory for students learning the technical aspects of recording. It will also feature collaboration rooms for writing and education.
Coach Music Factory: A 1300-capacity, three-tiered, flat floor music club featuring genres of music ranging from rock, jazz, techno, country, and pop, to rhythm and blues and electronic dance music.
Riverwalk and Public Gardens: A perfect complement to the Falls Park experience including patio gardens, subtle landscaping, and a riverwalk running alongside The Wyche.
These plans are anticipated to be complete by or before 2030.
