El Campanil Theatre Preservation Foundation launches community drive to keep arts alive in Antioch
Monthly recurring donations are the key to a thriving future for the theatre
The El Campanil Theatre Preservation Foundation has launched a new fundraising drive to ensure that live theatre, music, film, and community events continue to thrive in downtown Antioch. Supporters can make a one-time or recurring monthly donation at donate.elcampaniltheatre.com.
Built in 1928 and lovingly restored by the community, El Campanil Theatre has been a cornerstone of Antioch’s cultural life for nearly a century. Today, the theatre continues to serve as a vital gathering place for live performance, youth programming, and community events. As the organization looks to the future, monthly donations have become the most effective way for supporters to sustain its mission and keep the arts alive.
“Every dollar helps, but it’s our recurring monthly donors who truly keep the lights shining on our stage,” said Joshua Price, Executive Director of El Campanil Theatre. “As Bay Area venues continue to learn how to sustain themselves in a post-pandemic arts environment, monthly contributions allow us to plan for tomorrow, invest in our teams and artists, and preserve this beautiful historic theatre for future generations.”
While monthly donations provide the most sustainable support, one-time gifts are just as impactful and play a critical role in maintaining this historic theatre, funding new productions, and expanding arts access across East Contra Costa County.

El Campanil Theatre is an asset to the community and has stood as long as it has because of community support. By becoming a recurring donor or by making a generous one-time gift, you ensure that the crown gem of Antioch continues to inspire audiences and nurture creativity for generations to come.
