Restoring Art and Culture
To Our Hometown
Priest River, Idaho
Our Mission
The Foundation for the Rex Theater is committed to the rehabilitation of the historic theater with the goal of bringing art and culture to the city of Priest River and surrounding areas. The volunteer board of professionals, musicians, and community members have dedicated their energies to work toward this goal. The Board envisions a future where the theater will relive its past role in hosting music events, plays, dinner shows, and other events desired by the Priest River community and North Idaho region.
Master Plan Completed
Thanks to generous funding totaling $45,000 from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Marcus Anderson Family Foundation, and building owner Brian Runberg, the Foundation for the Rex Theater has completed a comprehensive Master Plan. As a result, Priest River now has a clear, actionable framework to restore the Rex Theater while honoring its historic character and serving the community’s needs. We appreciate all the contributions, support, and especially the professional guidance & expertise of Bushnaq Studios.
