Venue Information

Event venue in Libby, Montana
The concept of a performing arts center evolved in the late 1990’s. At this time the Memorial Gym was the facility used for community performances.

Around 2000, Libby received a grant through the efforts of US Senator Conrad Burns for 11.5 million dollars. 3.5 million dollars were to be spent on the hospital and the rest was to be spent on community development. A corporation called Libby Area Development Corporation (LADC) was formed. LADC was made up of business men and women along with community representatives from various backgrounds. This organization developed a process for applying for funds for either a grant or a loan. Anyone in the Libby/Troy area was eligible to apply for the funds. If the application was approved by LADC and then by the Libby City Council you were in business.
