The Opera House Arts Council is a not for profit organization dedicated to creating a greater understanding of the arts in our region by making community arts a viable part of the lives of our citizens.
The council is made up of members from all aspects of the community who are involved in keeping arts and culture alive and well in the El Dorado Springs area.
The historical Opera House Theater was renovated in 2007 by the Allison brothers. It was the first time that a movie theater played movies in our town since the 1970's. Due to change from 35mm to digital projection and the cost associated with it, the theater was shut down in 2012. After the theater's closing, a group of local citizens formed a non-profit group, The Opera House Arts Council, to bring this historical theater up-to-date. Through a year and a half of fundraising, a pre-owned digital projector was able to be purchased. In 2016, Opera House Theater opened again to the great delight of many in our community! A goal of the Arts Council is to provide scholarships to local seniors who are planning a career in the arts.
