“Through the spirit of philanthropy, we will build new financial support for the Pines Theater programs in an effort to support the revitalization and development of downtown and North Lufkin areas. The arts are critical to the vitality of every community and we are thrilled to be part of a greater vision for Lufkin by expanding our mission to enrich the community through the
performing arts. This mission to enhance the cultural offerings in our community will also support the City’s effort to draw more people downtown,” said Jennifer Allen, Executive Director for the Angelina Arts Alliance.
The Arts Alliance will seek community input as it begins to program its first full season of the Pines Presents Series, which will debut in January 2020.
