Glenn & Viola Walters Cultural Arts Center

The Glenn & Viola Walters Cultural Arts Center is a three-story stone structure in downtown Hillsboro designed to host cultural events and performances. The building contains a performance hall seating around 200 people, several classrooms, and exhibition galleries for visual arts.

The building began as Trinity Lutheran Church in 1949, serving the community for many years as a place of worship. The city acquired and repurposed it, converting the structure into a public cultural center that serves the broader community today.

The center serves as a meeting place for local artists and audiences who gather regularly throughout the year. Performances and exhibitions here shape the creative life of the town and draw people from the surrounding area.

The center is easily accessible on foot from downtown and provides different spaces for various types of visits. Rooms can be reserved for private events, making it flexible for different needs and group sizes.

The red stones used in the building's construction came from a quarry in Camas, Washington through a special arrangement. This deal allowed the city to obtain unlimited materials at a fixed price, making the project economically feasible.
