The Avon Theatre Film Center will receive a $500,000 grant from the Good to Great Grant program, co-administered by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) and CT Humanities. The grant will support the Avon reCreated renovation campaign, helping the theatre to reconfigure its existing layout to create a smaller, more intimate auditorium that will be utilized for film-making classes, poetry slams, niche films, and other activities.
