With its 500-seat multi-purpose auditorium and 300-seat state-of-the-art conference facility, Field Hall represents the newest and most significant arts, entertainment, and special events combination found anywhere in the region.
In 2016, the community of Port Angeles received the largest charitable contribution ever made in Clallam County: A $9 million gift from the late Donna Morris to be used specifically for the design, construction, and ongoing operation of a performing arts and events center.
Donna took great delight in the success of student musicians and believed they, along with other performers in the community, deserved a place that would truly showcase the talent and dedication each brought to their art.
Inspired by Donna’s gift, local arts patron Dorothy Field purchased and donated the last undeveloped parcel of waterfront property in Port Angeles to be the site of the performing arts and events center.
Dorothy has since contributed a significant level of additional funding to move the project forward. She has also established an endowment for operational funding.
In recognition of her gifts and in honor of her and her late husband, the building will be named Field Arts & Events Hall (Field Hall).
Our community tells its story, shares its history, and showcases its culture through the arts.
Mission: A home for arts and events that brings people together and strengthens our community.
Vision: To inspire, nurture, and empower the local arts community, enrich local cultural and educational experiences, and spark economic activity throughout the region.
Values: Field Arts & Events Hall respects all peoples and cultures through arts excellence and inclusive programming, and is a welcoming place for all in our community to connect through creativity.
Over the past four years, the Field Hall board and staff have been busy. We’ve conducted a market analysis and a capital campaign feasibility study. We’ve toured multiple venues and met with theater professionals to determine the appropriate size and configuration of the project. We’ve worked on building design and LEED certification, operational procedures, and future programming elements.
It is projected that by year three of operations, Field Hall and its patrons will generate over $2.2M in local business activity.
Programs and events at Field Hall will encourage medical, business, manufacturing, and academic professionals who expect these types of amenities to come, live, and invest in this community.
Field Hall will attract investments and drive tourism by bringing in resources and patrons who live outside the region.
The Field Hall project is already encouraging complimentary business activity, including a 100-room, four-diamond hotel one block from our site and a 70-unit condominium project with mixed retail, a seafood restaurant, and 250-stall public parking garage directly across the street.
