City Club Missoula To Discuss Performing Arts Center, 4/20, Missoula

City Club Missoula’s April forum will feature a presentation from the Missoula Community Performing Arts Center, a nonprofit with a mission to bring a functional, enterprising, and beneficial performing arts center to Missoula. Amy Rue, Executive Director, will lead a panel presentation on the group’s proposal including Missoula’s need, exploratory research, funding, timeline, and architectural plans.

Missoula is brimming with dancers, musicians, actors, comedians, and performing artists of all ages and stripes. Missoulians have a taste for performances at both the amateur and professional levels. How far will the city go to satisfy this taste? Does Missoula need a performing arts center? If so, where should it be? How much will it cost? Who will it benefit? What are the long term impacts to the city and to Western Montana?
