Klopfenstein
Amphitheater
for the
Performing
Arts
Celebrating the art of nature and performance, the design team, which included artists, landscape architects and lighting designers, developed an amphitheater that emulates its surroundings while both creating art and being a place for art.
The stage is nestled into the surrounding topography while the canopy rises above the stage, creating a unique and intimate place to perform. Located directly north of the Art and Environmental Center, the amphitheater serves both small and large events. The amphitheater is patterned after a series of oak leaves and is a one-of-a-kind facility in the state of Iowa.
