Built in the 1920s, the Roosevelt Center building served Red Lodge youth for more than 80 years of its first century as a community school. Today, the Roosevelt Center continues to meet community needs by providing a space to nurture arts and cultural activities, support local artists, invigorate the local economy through economic development and historic preservation, and encourage community dialogue and connection. ​

When you donate to the Roosevelt Center, you are supporting:

  • youth performing arts programming through theater classes, all-ages open-mic nights, musical performances, and other activities focused on connecting youth with the arts and giving them a chance to explore their talents
  • local artists by providing affordable and accessible studio spaces so that artists can collaborate with each other and create public awareness about their work
  • the preservation and restoration of the historic Roosevelt building so that future generations can experience the architecture, culture, and stories of our community throughout the building’s 100+ year history
  • general operations that ensure there are staffing and resources to carry out the mission and vision of the Center
