Our Kickstarter project to renovate and rejuvenate the rehearsal hall and building facade was a HUGE success!  Thank You to ALL those who pledged and backed the project.  With your help we can fast track the installation of the bamboo flooring, fix the lighting and repair the facade by December of this year!

Those of you who gave generously will be excited to know that the rewards such as the awesome T-Shirts and bumper stickers will be organized once the pledge funding has been released to us in mid November and there will be an option for Louisville locals to pick them up in person or have them shipped.

The Kickstarter project is now over but remember to keep informed and stay in touch by accessing the Vault1031 Kickstarter page (clink on the link to the left) or contact us by phone, Facebook or email.

We can't wait to show you all how your funding will transform Vault1031 so come back often for updates, pictures and the latest news!  We're also planning a special "thank-you"/opening night event in December once the floor has been installed and we officially open the doors...but more on that later!

Thankyou all once more - with your help we have guaranteed the birth of an amazing venue for Louisville and provided a wonderful new home for the Arts to thrive for years to come!
