Heyde Center for the Arts | Chippewa Valley Cultural Association On the Move | 2019 Entertainment Package

The Chippewa Valley Cultural Association, Inc. (CVCA) was formed in 1976 to accomplish two main goals: (1) to save the old McDonell Memorial High School building from destruction and restore it; and (2) to provide a venue for local artists, performers, writers and creative producers to explore, grow and share their talents with others in the region and beyond. Additionally, the CVCA brings in gifted individuals and groups from outside the region as well with the vision of exposing Chippewa Valley residents to the talents of people from all over the world.

The Heyde Center for the Arts is the name of the historic building that was saved and restored to its present glory. The McDonell Memorial High School building was constructed in 1907 by a benevolent lumberman named Alexander McDonell in memory of his wife and children. It was closed in 1964 when a new Catholic high school was built on the other side of town. For years after it was closed, the building was vandalized and allowed to deteriorate. Most of the windows were broken. Rain and snow caused the wood floors to buckle. The plaster on the walls peeled. Flocks of pigeons took up residence.

The dream languished for two decades, but a group of committed citizens refused to give up. The CVCA issued a call to area residents, inviting them to reclaim the building. Floors were swept, pigeons sent flying, and temporary electrical service established. Excitement for the project grew and eventually more than $2 million was gathered and skilled and unskilled laborers provided hundreds of thousands of hours of volunteer labor.

The CVCA largely accomplished its first main goal when it opened the doors of the Heyde Center for the Arts to the public in 2000. Since then, the CVCA has made significant progress in achieving its second goal. In 2006, the CVCA/Heyde Center received the Governor’s Award for Supporting the Arts in the “community organization” category. Each year approximately 20,000 people visit the Center’s performances, exhibits, and special events. The Association has approximately 300 members and 220 volunteers.
