ABOUT US

Located in the heart of Livingston, Montana, the Shane Lalani Center for the Arts, established in 2010, is dedicated to Strengthening Community Through Participation in the Arts. The Shane Center is a celebration of local artistry and serves as a gathering place to all. It fosters creativity, inclusivity, and social development through various arts programming, classes and events as well as providing space to many small businesses and nonprofits that further our mission.

The Shane Center firmly believes that engaging in the arts can provide an impactful and deeply meaningful experience that brings different sects of a community together. This organization has been at the forefront of that movement in Livingston — with over 61,000 visitors and 250 events annually, in addition to over 13,000 community theater and education program participants, with an impressive gross economic output of $3.5 million in greater Park County.

The rescue and repurposing of the historic East Side School into the Shane Center stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation, collaboration, and local support. This groundbreaking endeavor brought together the City of Livingston and our nonprofit organization in a unique partnership, showcasing our shared vision for a thriving arts and cultural hub.

The Shane Center has become a beloved cornerstone of our community. It stands resolute in its commitment to shaping the cultural landscape, nurturing talent, and creating shared experiences that will continue to define the future of Livingston and Park County. It will continue to forge ahead, embracing the exciting possibilities that the future brings.
