Mission:
The Henegar Center for the Arts is a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit corporation committed to operating a community arts center that provides quality cultural and educational programs, opportunities for community use and continues to preserve and maintain its historic significance.
About Us:
The Henegar Center was born from the vision of a dedicated group of community leaders. As the deterioration of two historical buildings in downtown Melbourne became increasingly apparent, a small group formed the Brevard Regional Arts Group (BRAG) to revive the treasured landmarks. The buildings, formerly public schools, were donated by the Brevard County School System to BRAG for transformation into cultural arts facilities. The Henegar Center for the Arts was thus born, named for Ruth Henegar, beloved principal for whom the original middle school was named in 1963.
BRAG raised over $2.5 million in cash and services to renovate the main building and the final renovations were completed in 1993.
At the heart of the Center is a 493 seat proscenium-style theater designed by a Tony Award-winning Broadway set designer. The stage features a main stage curtain from the original Broadway production of The King and I, with state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems for the highest quality productions.
