Shane Lalani Center for the Arts

The mission of The Shane Lalani Center for the Arts is "Strengthening Community Through Participation in the Arts."

The Shane Lalani Center for the Arts received a $250k matching gift starting on July 1st from Caroline Blake Faris and Stephen G. Faris. In addition to the Give A Hoot partial match, this extraordinary contribution will double every dollar donated to our organization during Give A Hoot, up to $250k.

We are a bustling multicultural arts center located in the heart of Livingston, Montana. Since opening our doors in 2010, the Shane Center has been a gathering space for theatergoers, music lovers, artists, actors, dancers, musicians, and creatives of all ages.

The Shane Center is home to a thriving theatre company, an eclectic roster of world-class musicians through the Shane Center Presents series, the Free Summer Outdoor Concert Series in June & July, and free films in the Dulcie Theatre with the Livingston Film Series.

The Shane Center houses a diverse group of long-term tenants and offers a broad selection of event spaces for rent, including the Blake Pavilion. We bring people together through engaging with the arts, providing a gathering place for our community to meet, connect, and celebrate life in Park County.

Testimonials

"The effect your programs have had on our eldest, have been life altering. Tonight our youngest, attended his first class at the Shane Center. He came home grinning ear to ear, talking about how fun it was and how chill all the kids were. He told me, 'No one expects you to prove anything, you can just be yourself.'... What you're accomplishing at the Shane Center is truly magical"
