The Dalles Art Center board now says the facility is on track to be preserved just a week after announcing that it was in financial trouble.  Since last week’s announcement the Art Center needed a minimum of $3,500 in committed funding a month to avoid closing by mid-April, board member Philip Mascher said Tuesday they have received $25,500 in one-time donations, and a commitment for $2,200 in recurring monthly donations.  That puts the Center needing an additional $1,300 in monthly donations to cover the basic costs of running it at the current level of staffing and opening hours.  Wednesday’s statement by the Center board indicated with the support they have seen, all planned exhibits will continue as scheduled and no exhibit cancellations will occur.
