Arts patrons and local philanthropists Frank and Katrina Basile have pledged $500,000 to the Regional Performing Arts Center
in Carmel, the Carmel Performing Arts Foundation announced Wednesday.
The center will recognize the gift by naming
the cafe and gift shop inside the 1,600-seat concert hall after the Basiles. The concert hall is scheduled to open in January
2011 as part of the $150 million center.
"Katrina and I believe that the Regional Performing Arts Center will
help increase the audience for all of the performing arts in central Indiana as well as their donor base," Frank Basile
said in a prepared statement. "That's why I agreed to serve on the board and make a financial contribution. I believe
that this will be an exciting addition to the arts scene for the entire region."
Basile joined the board of
directors of the Regional Performing Arts Center Foundation in November. He and his wife have made major gifts to several
Indianapolis-based organizations, including the Indianapolis Art Center, Indiana Historical Society and Herron School of Art
and Design at IUPUI.
Frank Basile is a retired executive of the Gene B. Glick Co. Katrina Basile is a real estate
agent.

Laura-the festivals and tastings are free. What does is strengthen the sense of community with activities. What are those empty lots doing for the Village? it's sad you can't see the good that this progress can do for the area. No one is requiring anyone to shop there. I guess you'd rather see a Dollar store move in or no, we'd rather see the property stand empty b/c change is out of the question.

Read down to the part about Brizzi. Someone needs to subpoena his "purchases" of Red RockPictures and Cellstar and his corresponding bank records, I mean c'mon, I'd like to see his alcohol usage records, too. http://diana-vice.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Wonder if my neighborhood can advertise our "retention" pond and act like it is a beach too?

a new record at the '11 salebration until they realized that it was a futile effort to get their crapwagon moter and crapwagon car up speed. And then they just quietly slunk off into the night and never spoke of it again. Nothing to see here folks.

millions for putting a company's bumper sticker on one of its Lolas. But you gotta take what you can get.

MONEY committment. Something like
#30,000,000. The Basiles are giving
chickenfeed.
Now, with Mel dead, Bren is spending
over $60,000,000 on a new estate in
Beverly Hill California.
No more for the Carmel Indiana PALLADIUM
now.
Taxes in Carmel Indiana will have to go up
and up.
the PALLADIUM is a big MONEY PIT, for the
Rich only, at the expense of the Working
Classes.
