The Dixon is more than a building—it's a home for artists, a gathering place for our community, and a space where bold ideas come to life. As LED's permanent home for production, rehearsal, artist residencies, and performances, The Dixon provides an inspiring environment where creativity can flourish year-round.
Located in Garden City's Live Work Create District, the beautifully restored 7,000-square-foot historic building features a modular theater with telescopic seating for up to 150 guests, the Movement Loft rehearsal studio, and a welcoming lounge for gathering before and after performances. Designed to foster connection between artists and audiences, The Dixon offers an intimate experience unlike any other in the Treasure Valley.
Beyond LED's own programming, The Dixon is available to rent for performances, celebrations, and community events, serving as a vibrant cultural hub where artists, organizations, and neighbors come together. It stands as a lasting investment in Idaho's creative future—a place where artists are supported, audiences are inspired, and together, we create art that moves people.
The Theater
At the center of the Dixon is The Theater — a state-of-the-art, immersive performance space built to bring bold ideas to life. It’s where LED premieres its original creations and invites audiences into the artistic process.
With modular, telescopic seating for up to 150 guests, the theater easily adapts to a variety of configurations—from traditional proscenium setups to in-the-round staging or standing-room-only events. This flexibility supports a wide range of creative formats and experiences.
The Movement Loft
Upstairs at The Dixon, you’ll find the Movement Loft — a bright, open, and energizing space designed to foster creativity and connection. With a 35 x 40-foot open floor plan, the Loft comfortably accommodates up to 25 people, making it an ideal setting for movement classes, masterclasses, artist residencies, workshops, art exhibits, and creative events of all kinds.
Expansive windows flood the space with natural light, creating a warm and inspiring atmosphere where ideas take shape and creativity flows freely. Home to LED’s Artist Haven residency, the Movement Loft is more than a studio—it’s an incubator for bold ideas, offering artists the space and support they need to explore, create, and grow.
The Lounge
The Lounge at the Dixon is a creative space designed for connection, reflection, and a touch of indulgence.
Before a performance, relax with a curated selection of drinks from local wineries and breweries—you might get so comfortable, you forget there’s a show waiting.
After the event, return to share your experience, spark conversation, and meet the artists behind the work you’ve just witnessed.
More than just a lounge, this is the heart of the Dixon—a gathering place where art, community, and dialogue come alive.
Only creativity and community — never spam.
