One characteristic of a thriving community is the presence of a thriving arts and culture community and veneration of the past. Enthusiasm for the arts, culture, and history is a metric of social vitality and economic growth, and a display of energy and abundance.
The Historic Dome Preservation Group intends to acquire the building known as the Dome, and rehabilitate the beloved but derelict building to be opened as an arts and cultural center for the enrichment of Sonora, Tuolumne County, and the region. The revitalized Dome will provide space for classes in the arts, performance space, cultural heritage space, and an art gallery with a permanent collection of locally created art. The new Dome will be a point of community pride, creative exploration, and forward vision.
