The Printery will Light Up the Community of Atascadero as an Arts and Events Center — bringing much needed positive activities for all ages to our community.

Originally a vibrant printing plant in 1916, it also served as a community center for many years. In 2017 the Atascadero Printery Foundation purchased the building to save it, and re-purpose as a facility of many uses, including a performing arts center.

To raise funds for rehabilitation, the Foundation is offering donors an opportunity bid for the right to Light Up a Space. Once the building is refurbished, a copper plaque will hang prominently in each space in perpetuity. The plaques will acknowledge the donors’ generosity to help Bring the Printery Back to Light. Donate in your name, or honor or memorialize loved ones.
