Get to know the history at the Fort Ben Cultural Campus, including our Marching Sidewalk, Amphitheater, Visual Arts Center, and one-of-a-kind Musical Swings! The Fort Ben Cultural Campus Theater at the Fort Originally known as the Post Theatre, the building was constructed in 1929. Today, it is the only Fort Harrison building still being used for its original purpose - a gathering space for entertainment and performances. Since Arts for Lawrence began its stewardship in 2016, the theater has been fully renovated with new technology, including film capabilities, cosmetic upgrades, and a building addition. Click Here For Images Visual Arts Center Once the Fort Harrison communications building, the structure was relocated from its original site and moved onto the Fort Ben Cultural Campus. The building now houses a first-floor gallery, a lower-level ceramics studio, a second-floor art classroom, and a resident artist studio. Click Here For Images Theatre at the Fort Amphitheater The amphitheater is the centerpiece of Arts for Lawrence’s festivals and concerts. Designed to mimic the historic bus stops at Fort Harrison with a hipped roof of copper patina metal, exposed wooden posts and beams, and red brick bases. Sterrett Center Initially, the Fort Harrison Service Club, the building provided leisure opportunities to enlisted men, including a combined military and recreational library. The building is now home to Heartland Film. Campus Amenities Musical Swings The Musical Swings, designed by Daily Tous Les Jours of Montreal Canada, is an interactive installation that stimulates human connections. Imagined as a collective experience, the swings invite people of all ages and backgrounds to make music together. It’s an intuitive game, where cooperation between participants unlocks secret melodies, encouraging collaboration and active awareness of others. Marching Sidewalk Designed by Judy Byron & Brian Norris, the sidewalk is an interactive experience with sensors that activate military cadences, similar to those used at Fort Harrison when it was an active military base. Bugle calls play at designated times throughout the day. The calls were recorded by the U.S. Army National Guard 38th Infantry Division Band, who rehearsed in the Post Theatre from 2000 - 2015. View daily schedule of Bugle calls Discover AFL AR/VR App Discover Arts for Lawrence is a mobile app that uses VR and augmented reality to take you on a tour of the Cultural Campus.
