The low-cost loan to the Sundance Institute was facilitated by the Colorado Educational and Cultural Facilities Authority (CECFA) and organization that helps educational and cultural groups borrow money for projects.
“They will be a series of upgrades that include accessibility upgrades and a series of equipment [upgrades] that would allow us to use the best-in-class, state-of-the-art equipment for sound and video for theatrical exhibitions,” said Trista Schroeder, general counsel for the Sundance Institute, during the CECFA meeting.
The venues include the Boulder Theater, Chautauqua Auditorium, Dairy Arts Center, e- Town Hall, a few theaters on CU’s campus and two Boulder public schools. Sundance was unable to share specifics about the improvements to those spaces.
