In 1937, the Pullman Community Concert Association was founded. In 1969, it discontinued its affiliation with Community Concerts, Inc., and became the Pullman Concert Association, which was replaced by the WSU Pullman Artist Series in 1974. The name was changed to the Palouse Empire Concert Series in 1979, and the program was discontinued effective April 1981.
The WSU Pullman Artist Series was run through the WSU Theatre Department program in partnership with the local community, and consisted of demonstrations, lectures, and performances. These programs were presented at WSU Pullman as well as in Moscow in cooperation with the University of Idaho.
Programs and promotional materials related to the WSU Pullman Artist Series / Palouse Empire Concert Series, which ran from about 1974-1981.
Materials are organized chronologically, with each individual year in its own folder. Materials not specific to individual shows (primarily calendars) are at the back of the folder.
This collection is open and available for research use.
