For more than 90 years, the historic WOW Hall has been a place for Eugene to gather. And 50 years ago, when the building's future was uncertain, community members came together to save it and ensure it would remain a home for arts, culture and community.

This October, it provides a fitting setting for a conversation about the future of Eugene's creative ecosystem.

Join the Arts & Business Alliance of Eugene for a special Catalyst Club luncheon as we celebrate the culmination of the Eugene Arts District Launch Team's eight-month planning process and share an emerging vision for what's next.

Over the past eight months, artists, arts leaders, business and community partners, and civic leaders have explored one big question:

What would it take to create an Arts District that strengthens Eugene through arts and culture?

We'll share some of the ideas, discoveries and recommendations that emerged from that process, hear from our hosts at the WOW Hall, and look ahead to the next phase of building a more connected and thriving creative ecosystem in Eugene.

Along the way, enjoy lunch and time to connect with Catalyst Club members, artists, civic leaders and community partners.

After eight months of listening, learning and imagining together, we're excited to share where we've landed and begin the conversation about where we go from here.
