IT’S ALL YOURS
A wonderful experience awaits you at this unique and historic venue. Located in the arts district of Downtown La Crosse, WI, the Pump House Regional Arts Center is a non-profit organization with great spaces suitable for both small and large gatherings.
The building’s timeless elegance radiates from its historic woodwork accents, twin vaulted ceilings, and hand-finished wood floors. Magic and memories are made in its many available spaces: three beautiful art galleries, a jewel box theater, a lush courtyard, a conference room, and a multipurpose art studio. Rentals of twelve hours also include access to state-of-the-art projection and sound equipment, tables and chairs, dressing rooms, and more! It’s all yours at the Pump House.
