A local theater that has hosted donation drives for other area groups for years is now supporting visual artists by providing free gallery space.
Unscrewed Theater will celebrate its ninth birthday in January. The nonprofit is run largely by volunteers, including its performers.
Unscrewed moved into its current location in 2018, on East Speedway near North Swan Road, but because the space was smaller, Seidman and others started looking for additional space to use for classes or community rentals. The meeting space is open during Friday and Saturday show nights for theater patrons and community members to visit and view the art. The space is free for artists to use and the theater doesn't expect any compensation for works that are sold.
Inman said the exposure generated a couple of sales but that sales don't fuel her artistic drive."I just love it," the retired educator said. Inman commended the theater for its desire to help visual artists, saying it has a"fine idea there of helping out the community."It has worked with national groups and grassroots organizations, spreading their messages, while raising awareness and collecting much needed donations.
