Photo Gallery: The Fillmore Debuts in September

The Fillmore Silver Spring Preview Center opened Thursday in the downtown area to give a sneak peak of what to expect inside the venue and the quality of its upcoming shows. The center showcases historical interviews by artists like Carlos Santa, background information on founder Bill Graham and time-lapse photos of the building construction.

For all you concertgoers who are interested in a more luxurious experience, you will have the opportunity to upgrade to V.I.P treatment. Amenities include a private box seating, priority line entry, private bar, balcony seating, and much more.

Rob Muller, spokesman for The Fillmore, said he is extremely excited about the music venue opening in downtown and encourages anyone to stop by the preview center. He added that The Fillmore will announce its first performance Friday, July 22, at 10 a.m.

The exhibition is located in the ArtSpring store on 921-J Ellsworth Drive and is open from Tuesday to Wednesday from noon to 6 p.m.; Thursday to Friday from noon to 8 p.m.; Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Sunday from 1-5 p.m.; and Monday it is closed.
