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.
