Restoring Art and Culture

To Our Hometown

Our Story

A group of very dedicated individuals organized in 2019 to begin plans for the restoration of the century old Rex Theater, located in the historic downtown district of Priest River. Early progress in our effort includes establishment of goals, exploration of funding sources, development of committee communication channels, acceptance of small grants, and most recently the physical start of restoration at the Theater.

 
 
 

Updates

 

Our Centennial Celebration was a great success!

The turnout was excellent, the wine flowed freely and everyone had a good time. We are encouraged by the community response and are already planning for future gatherings at the Theater. See our Facebook page for more photos.

Our December Open House was well attended despite the frigid weather.

Interior demolition of wooden structures is complete. See photos here and a short video here.

See our recent Newsletter for more info on the work progress and Board activity.
