FUNDRAISER
Pump House Regional Arts Center opened an art adoption center featuring donated art pieces in search of loving homes.
All proceeds go toward the Pump House, which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit art center, supporting the continuation of inclusive and accessible art programming.
Anima Moon
Anima Moon is a proposed permanent public artwork by Joel Kuennen, designed for Pettibone Park on the Mississippi River, directly across from Riverside Park downtown La Crosse. The sculpture will reflect moonlight onto the river and track the Moon as it moves across the night sky, creating a quiet, shared civic presence visible from both sides of the river.
Lights Up Fund
Lights Up Fund established in August 2025 for stage light renovation at the Pump House Regional Arts Center. Total fund goal of $50,000 to improve the quality, environmental sustainability, and longevity of the performance space.
Restroom Renovation Fund
Restroom Renovation Fund established November 2024 in response to community support of the project. Total fund goal $13,290.03 to cover historic building updates required during Women’s Bathroom construction.

Awards and Grants
The Pump House Regional Arts Center was recently recognized for its efforts and support of the arts, culture, and creativity within La Crosse! The Creative Community Champion Award was presented by Create Wisconsin to the city of La Crosse, the City Arts Board, and the Pump House.
The Pump House Regional Arts Center was recently awarded a State Tourism Grant to help foster a healthy community.
“The grant will be used to improve and update its restroom facilities and replace chairs in the theater. The Pump House receives more than 50,000 visitors in a typical year. ”
At the start of National Travel and Tourism week, Governor Tony Evers made a stop at the Pump House in La Crosse. The Pump House received a grant in late 2022 for building improvements. “The arts are part of the tourism industry here in Wisconsin,” Evers said, noting the Pump House is one reason why visitors should come downtown.
