ATTENTION CARBONDALE! You are cordially invited to join the Stage Name Brainstorm ROUND TWO!
Last January, we issued a similar call for ideas, and were so blown away by the response. A great many of you
suggested naming the venue after individuals who have made important contributions to Carbondale’s music
scene. Rather than naming this space after a specific individual, we are striving to broaden the scope of this
venue name to be inclusive, diverse, unifying. We are seeking ideas that highlight a broader venue name and
that do not directly focus on any one individual.
The timing for this is perfect – the City is about to break ground on Phase One of the Entertainment and
Events Plaza in downtown Carbondale. Phase One will include a state-of-the-art stage that will host
entertainment and the performing arts, and attract visitors from across the region and beyond to the heart of
Carbondale!
We were humbled by the amazing response from our first call for naming suggestions of the Entertainment
and Events Plaza, and want to thank all of you who submitted your ideas and input! A multitude of responses
highlighted impactful community members who have left their mark on Carbondale in various and important
ways.
In order to celebrate all of those who used their talents to help make Carbondale’s music scene so special
and unique, we are currently exploring other ways to honor and recognize these individuals.
If you feel called to submit an idea to the team with this new direction in mind, we welcome you to submit
your suggestions via the form in the link below:
