Our mission, to cultivate community through accessible arts experiences for all, guides our programming in the ZACC Show Room. For events that fall within our mission, the ZACC has specific models for pricing and profit share that we use to ensure that both the artist and the ZACC will benefit fully from our partnership. For events that fall outside of our mission, we are thrilled that you’re interested in hosting your event in our space, and we have pricing competitive with other venues in the Missoula area. If you are interested in renting the Show Room for a private event, or public event outside of our mission, please visit Rent a Space > The Show Room.
The ZACC Show Room is located in the heart of downtown Missoula in the beautiful, historic Studebaker Building, and can house a maximum of 150 seated and 350 standing. Adjacent to the Show Room is the Blackfoot Gallery & Lounge, which can be booked in addition to the theatre for events requiring extra, separate space.
The name of our event center harkens back to the building's original use as an automobile garage and showroom. The Studebaker Building is listed on the National Historic Registry, and served a growing automobile industry from the 1920s through the 1950s, when its owner Louis Nybo sold and repaired Studebakers here — the then vehicle of choice for Missoula's police force.
SHOW ROOM AMENITIES
The ZACC Show Room boasts 150 chairs, 20 banquet tables, 10 cocktail tables (which adjust in height), an adjustable theatre lighting system, sound equipment, backdrop and blackout curtains, a removable stage, and a backstage area with access to our kitchen and upstairs bathrooms.

Illuminati Congo is a conscious and forward thinking lyricist from Chicago, Illinois. In a time where so much is uncertain and in question, he brings some much needed positive vibrations. When their plan is division, we counter them with unity, oneness, and breath. And that is exactly our intention with hosting this gathering. Having a place where we can all commune and come together as a community. Congo is rooted in hip hop and roots reggae with the teachings of His Imperial Majesty, Haile Selassaie, laying the foundation. Our good Brother Ras Jahshua from Yuma, Arizona will be opening on the 1’s and 2’s with some roots reggae in dub, and will be Congo’s DJ for the evening. A long time Brother and wicked musician for the past 20 years, Ras Jahshua plays multiple instruments and produces many of the local artists in his hometown of Yuma, Arizona.
*Please note that you may use cannabis outside the venue, as it is legal for those over 21 to use recreationally in Montana, but you may not smoke any substances inside the venue – including cannabis.
