The Argyros Performing Arts Center Recognized with an Award of Merit The Argyros Performing Arts Center in Ketchum, Idaho, was recently recognized by ENR Mountain States with an Award of Merit in the Cultural/Worship category. Located on a narrow downtown site that was formerly an auto dealership and later a garage, the new state-of-the-art building offers a plethora of programming in the Elizabeth and Thomas Tierney Theatre, a flexible theatre with seating for up to 380 patrons; the Bailey Family Studio, a second more intimate performance venue seating 50; the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Café; and a large outdoor plaza. Auerbach Pollock Friedlander provided theatre and audio-video consulting for the planning and design of the facility, as well as theatrical systems design services for the performance spaces, working with architect Michael Doty Associates. The building's architecture highlights the natural beauty of Ketchum's landscape with numerous large windows that maximize mountain views. The Argyros Performing Arts Center recently celebrated one-year in business.
