Pave the Way to the Britt Performance Garden
Jacksonville, OR – The performance garden is a major initiative to add to and diversify Britt’s overall programming opportunities. This project will increase our programming options, creating the opportunity to offer smaller, more intimate concerts, including chamber music, jazz combos, acoustic folk and family concerts. In addition to concert programming, the performance garden increases our ability to expand educational offerings.
We started working on this vision in earnest in January 2011. The Performance Garden will provide café style seating for 150, new pathways, safety improvements, lighting, ADA accessibility and restroom upgrades, as well as additional concessions. These upgrades will add to the viability, vitality and beauty of our current venue.
Thanks to substantial support of Oregon-based foundations, we are off to a very strong start in our capital campaign for this project. But we need your help.

A key part of funding the Performance Garden is the new “Pave the Way” project, in which patrons can purchase engraved bricks for $250 or $500, and show their support in a lasting way. The bricks will become the Britt Performance Garden’s new pathway and seating area. The bricks can be etched with the names of individuals, a business, or a tribute honoring someone special. These personalized pavers will be available for purchase on the Britt Hill throughout the summer season. Fill out the form below, and show your support of Britt in a unique way.
Final design of approved Britt Master Plan elements are subject to the City of Jacksonville Historical and Architectural Review Commission (HARC) review and approval. Design submittal is planned for this summer.
