About the Elko Performing Arts Building
Overview
Step inside the heart of the Elko Performing Arts Building. The PAB serves as a modern venue for live performances, education, and community events — designed to support both student learning and professional productions.
History
The story of the Elko Performing Arts Building traces back to the original Elko High School Auditorium, which stood as a centerpiece for performances and community gatherings for decades. In 1971, a devastating fire destroyed that beloved auditorium, leaving a lasting mark on the community and its commitment to the arts.
Out of that loss came determination. The Performing Arts Building was envisioned as a modern replacement — a space built not only to restore what was lost, but to elevate Elko’s cultural and educational opportunities. Today, the PAB stands as a testament to resilience, creativity, and the community’s ongoing dedication to live performance.
