Our vision is to create a world-class performing arts center that serves as a cultural cornerstone for the Tri-Cities, inspiring creativity and connection. The Mid-Columbia Performing Arts Center will enrich lives, foster community engagement, and be a catalyst for artistic growth and economic development.
Our mission is to build and operate the Mid-Columbia Performing Arts Center; a vibrant, state-of-the-art facility for artistic expression and innovation. We strive to enhance cultural access and quality of life for the community, promote economic vitality, and support local arts organizations to collaborate, grow, and thrive.
The Mid-Columbia Performing Arts Center will feature an ~800-seat theater with professional acoustics, a flexible community room for intimate events and educational programs, a spacious lobby for gatherings and exhibits, and a dedicated food and beverage area. Designed for comfort and versatility, this state-of-the-art facility will be the perfect space for performances, community events, and more.

LMN Architects, the same team behind our conceptual designs for the Mid-Columbia Performing Arts Center, designed the Field Arts & Events Hall to support local arts organizations and serve as a community gathering place. It’s a wonderful demonstration of how thoughtful design can elevate a community’s arts, culture, and creative spirit.
Watch the video to see how their work in Port Angeles reflects the vision for our own performing arts center—modern, welcoming, and community-focused. Imagine the possibilities for the Tri-Cities!
The Mid-Columbia Performing Arts Center will be situated in Columbia Park West, a prime location near the REACH Museum with breathtaking views of the Columbia River. This central spot is easily accessible for residents from across the Tri-Cities region, making it an ideal gathering place for arts, culture, and community events.
The location aligns with the City of Richland’s master plan to develop Columbia Park West into a vibrant cultural hub. By placing the center near the REACH Museum, the project creates a synergy between two cornerstone institutions, fostering a rich and dynamic cultural district for the entire region to enjoy.
With its scenic surroundings and strategic placement, the Mid-Columbia Performing Arts Center will be more than just a venue—it will be a landmark destination for performances, festivals, and community engagement in the Tri-Cities.
Be part of this transformative project that will enrich our community, support local arts, and enhance the quality of life in the Tri-Cities. Every action counts—whether it’s sharing your support, volunteering your time, or making a contribution. Together, we can create a lasting legacy for generations to come.
