The Performing Arts Initiative, which has been for the last five years working toward a goal of a state-of-the-art performance center in the Gorge, is in the midst of its Dream Big campaign.  The group’s John Hardham says the effort to raise $200,000 and give them enough cash flow to move forward in a couple of areas, including hire a full-time project manager and an interim development director to help with a capital campaign.  Hardham says the group is probably about five years out from any kind of construction.  To donate to PAI…got to givebutter.com/PAI_DreamBig.  Their website is gorgeperformingarts.org.
