King Fine Arts Center

About Us:

The $3 million King Fine Arts Center was built as a joint project of Cassia County School District No. 151 and the people of Burley, Idaho with the aid of the Mount Harrison Heritage Foundation and a very generous donation by Mr. Herman King.

The center was opened on March 1, 1999 with a Gala Grand Opening Concert that saw all 1300 seats filled and some three-hundred people turned away at the door. Since then the center has been host to many performances and activities including the record-setting runs of "Peter Pan" and "The Wizard of Oz" both with over 8000 people in attendance! The first year of operation saw ninety activities in the center with an attendance of just over sixty-thousand. On December 11, 2001 the King Fine Arts Center reached 100,000 in attendance.
