Donate
The Empress Theatre is operated and maintained by the Vallejo Community Arts Foundation, Inc, a non-profit public benefit corporation. A nearly 100-year-old structure, the Empress is a jewel in Vallejo’s downtown, but it is also a tremendously costly structure to operate and maintain. And, unlike other similar civic arts centers in the Bay Area, the Empress Theatre receives no funding from the City or County. All funding must be earned through ticket sales or raised through fundraising efforts. Private donors are essential partners. Your donation will help ensure that the Empress Theatre remains Vallejo’s Center for Arts and Entertainment™ for the next 100 years.
All donations are 100% tax deductible and can be easily made by sending a check to: Empress Theatre/ VCAF, P.O. Box 4099, Vallejo, CA 94590. You will receive a donation letter for your donation.
Vallejo Center for the Arts
THE ARTS HOLD THE KEY
The Vallejo Center for the Arts was founded as a California Public Benefits Corporation in 1991. The mission of VCA is to inspire and engage a large and diverse audience in Vallejo and beyond through exceptional performances, art exhibitions, educational programs, and community activities.
Empress Theatre History
Build in 1911 by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The Empress Theatre is a historic landmark in the heart of downtown Vallejo. The curtain rose for the first time on Valentine’s Day in 1912 with a Sullivan & Considine vaudeville show. The Empress Theatre is operated by the Vallejo Center for the Arts. Historic theaters are the legacy of visionary showmen who built them, showcasing entertainment that was uniquely American. When a community’s residents become collectively invested in historically important buildings, there is a clear pride of place that follows.
