Join us for a screening of Donna Deitch’s queer cinema landmark, Desert Hearts on May 30th at the Pendleton Center for the Arts! Among the first queer films to offer its protagonists a happily ever after, Desert Hearts is a film radical in its simplicity and its refusal to define its characters through their sexuality. We’ll host a facilitated discussion after the film.
Free admission, suggested donation $10.
2023 Progress Report
It’s been a busy year for the Rivoli Theater Restoration Coalition! We completed the first of the three major phases of the theater’s construction, launched new community programming, and held a fundraiser in 2023 and early 2024. We are so grateful for our community’s continued support and we hope you are as excited as we are to see the project’s continued progress.
Check out our 2023 Progress Report to find out more about our most recent progress on turning the Historic Rivoli Theater into the northwest’s premiere showcase for information and the arts! With your support we introduced a lot of new programs and events over the last year and we can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish in the years to come.
2018 RIVOLI THEATER UPDATE
A MESSAGE FROM THE RIVOLI RESTORATION COALITION
The Rivoli Restoration Coalition is pleased to present our Strategic Plan. It outlines our vision for the project and our strategy to renovate and restore Pendleton’s Historic Rivoli Theater.
The Coalition began developing this plan in the spring of 2014 in collaboration with Susan Bower of Eastern Oregon Business Source, to whom we are grateful. In this plan, we document the history of the Coalition, highlight the group’s ongoing achievements, and state our plans for complete restoration and operation of the Rivoli by 2020.
Although we have only started the work needed in order to achieve our vision, we are excited by our accomplishments to date, and we greatly appreciate the already widespread support from our community and region. We look forward to continued collaboration with our current and future partners as we continue restoring the Rivoli into the Northwest’s premiere showcase for excellence in arts, entertainment, and information.
Thank you for your interest and support!
