About Us:
The Cultural Center is home to three-major elements: a second full-service Library for the City of Rancho Cucamonga; the 536 seat performing arts center: The Lewis Family Playhouse and Celebration Hall with approximately 4,500 sf of meeting and banquet space for all of life's celebrations.
This $33.8 million project was the design of award winning architects WLC/Pitassi Architects, Inc. Construction of this incredible City project has been accomplished without the use of any City of Rancho Cucamonga's General Fund through a $7.8 million State Library Grant, $5.7 million partnership with Victoria Gardens regional town center Developer Forest City, private partnerships, Community Development Block Grant funds, and Redevelopment Agency Tax Allocation Bond Funds.
Since the inception of the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center, two of our community groups have been instrumental in their fundraising efforts to enhance and augment programs and services provided at the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center.
The Rancho Cucamonga Library Foundation and the Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation joined together in 2002 to create the Promoting Arts and Literacy (PAL) fundraising campaign. Since then these two groups have held their signature fundraising events: the Library Telethon and the Community Foundation Gala for the sole benefit of the PAL campaign, in addition to their Boards tireless efforts of reaching out to our community and business partners to help bring this incredible project to the community.
