The communal state treasury enterprise "Zharma District Culture Palace" of the Zharma District Administration
History of the District Culture Palace
The district was established in 1928. The initial activities of the district culture house were carried out in a church building constructed in 1898 during the years 1978–1979.
In 1991, the District Culture House was relocated to a room of the children's library. In 1992, it moved to a room in the building of the collective farm "Rasvet." In 1994, the District Culture House was placed in the building of the "Sputnik" cinema.
The current building of the District Culture Palace was initially opened in 1960 as the culture house of the "Rasvet" collective farm. During the years of stagnation, this building passed into private ownership and remained vacant for a long time.
In 2001, the facility was returned to the district budget and handed over to the District Culture House. During this period, major renovation work was carried out on the building, and it was reopened for cultural purposes.
In 2012, major renovation work was again conducted in the culture house, and an additional building was constructed, providing a new 300-seat auditorium and an additional stage. Currently, the District Culture Palace has 2 auditoriums and 2 stages in operation.
The Culture Palace is fully equipped with a modern material and technical base. LED screens have been installed in both auditoriums, and modern lighting devices that provide colored light have been set up. Additionally, to enhance concert events, equipment such as light guns, smoke machines, and confetti machines, as well as high-quality sound monitors, are used.
The enterprise was established in accordance with the decree No. 302 of the Zharma District Administration dated March 9, 1999.
