Where Artists Thrive and Community Connects with Creativity

The Rivoli Arts Building is La Crosse's home for working artists—a vibrant creative ecosystem housed in the historic Rivoli Building in downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin. We're not just providing studio space; we're creating an economic environment where artists can make a living from their craft while making art accessible and visible to our community.
