    Chris Wilson Pavilion at Potawatomi Park


    Comment on Facebook

    Funded by the Community Foundation’s ArtsEverywhere Initiative, the family of Christopher H. Wilson, private trusts at Wells Fargo Bank, and the Rotary Club, the Chris Wilson Pavilion at Potawatomi Park can accommodate a wide range of music, dance, and theater performances.

    Designed by James Childs Architects, this new space is large enough to accommodate a 50+ member symphony; has optimized acoustics designed by a nationally recognized acoustics consultant; and flexible infrastructure to accommodate artists who bring their own lighting and amplification.  It also features improved, universally accessible seating configurations which blend benches with grassy areas.

    The pavilion is named after Chris Wilson, an accomplished classical guitarist, who died along with his father, Dr. James M. Wilson, in a tragic car crash in 2004. Chris was living in Bend, Oregon as a performer and music teacher at the time of his death.
