PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Music, dance, theatre, lectures, and more bring the communities of Idaho State University and Southeastern Idaho together in one spectacular locale: the $34 million L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center. Built primarily with the generous support of hundreds of private donors, the 123,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art complex, debuted in October of 2004. It crowns a Pocatello hilltop that offers vistas as inspiring as the artists who perform here. We invite you to join ISU in celebrating the performing arts in Idaho.

MUSEUM OF CLEAN

Walk into 75,000 sq. ft of excitement, education, and inspiration for the whole family!

Come prepared to participate, remembering that this is not a cleaning museum, but a museum of clean.
