A one-of-a-kind arts venue in Rangely, Colorado is raising funds for their 2024 season. People from all over the world with an interest in acoustics have Rangely on their bucket list but why? The answer is simple: The TANK, a 7-story steel water tank that is now used solely as a unique concert venue. Originally built in 1940 as a railroad water-treatment facility, The TANK was relocated to Rangely in the 1960s. Its foundation could not support the weight of it when filled so it remained empty but with a bowed floor due to the insufficient foundation. The result was literal music to the ears, with up to 40 seconds of reverberation. Now The TANK is a ‘Center for Sonic Arts’ and a location for concerts, professional and amateur recordings, and tours. The TANK recently received a $4,000 dollar local donation and the challenge has been issued for the community to match it to support the 2024 season. A QR code to the donation link is included with this news story on BasinNow.com.
