Pump House Regional Arts Center

The Pump House Regional Arts Center is the nonprofit arts center in La Crosse, WI, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in our region through meaningful arts experiences. Housed in a re-purposed municipal waterworks structure, the organization offers a wide range of visual and performing arts opportunities that utilize the venue’s theater, 3 art galleries, classroom, pottery studio, and meeting areas.  Twin vaulted wood ceilings and historic woodwork accent the remodeled interior of the fully accessible cultural center.

Pump House is home to award winning concerts, drama, exhibits, comedy, films, classes and more.   Serving as the anchor of the City of La Crosse Arts District for decades, the center is affectionately known by locals as “The Pump House.”  No admission fee is required to visit the galleries. Donations are appreciated. Funding is provided through donations, memberships and sponsorships from individuals and businesses throughout the tri-state region.  Further generous support is received from United Fund for the Arts and Humanities, Wisconsin Public Radio, Wisconsin Humanities Council, and the Wisconsin Arts Board and the National Endowment for the Arts.
