Lt. Jeff Horner of the Carmel Police Department confirmed that the inside of The Palladium was vandalized sometime early last week. Horner said in an e-mail that CPD took criminal mischief reports last Monday morning regarding "random pictures and profanity" spray painted on the walls. Horner added the effects of the vandalism should only be temporary and short term, as the painting was done in currently unfinished areas of the concert hall. The investigation was still ongoing as of press time.
The 1,600-seat Palladium is the centerpiece of Carmel's $150 million Center for the Performing Arts. Construction of the state-of-the-art hall is scheduled to be completed in November, followed by a three-month period for tuning the hall. Opening ceremonies for The Palladium are expected to take place in late January, 2011.
