June 1999: The Central Valley Center for the Arts (the nonprofit organization that runs the Gallo center) concludes that the organization, the financing and the construction of a performing-arts center needs to be a three-way partnership consisting of Stanislaus County, the city of Modesto and the Central Valley Center for the Arts.

November 2000: Measure F fails. January 2001: The Central Valley Center for the Arts announces a plan to raise money even though Measure F failed.
