Cheyenne Civic Center opened in 1981 as a performing arts venue for Wyoming’s capital city.¹ The building’s brick exterior fits downtown Cheyenne, while the interior includes warm wood accents, tiered seating, spacious lobby areas, professional lighting, and sound systems.¹

The City of Cheyenne owns and operates the venue, with Cheyenne Presents supporting event planning, production, and venue operations.¹ That civic role gives the building a clear purpose: it keeps a dedicated performing arts home in downtown Cheyenne, with the space and production support for touring shows, local arts groups, and community events.¹
