Whitefish Performing Arts Center — Venue Flooring Material Supply
A high-profile community venue needed flooring that supports acoustics, looks the part, and survives event-day traffic. Northern Lights Design supplied the carpet and hard-surface materials for the project.

Project Scope
Carpet and flooring materials for a performing arts venue — auditorium, lobby, backstage areas, and VIP spaces.
What Northern Lights Design Supplied
The Whitefish Performing Arts Center required flooring that could support acoustics, visual elegance, and durability for a high-profile community venue. Northern Lights Design provided specialized carpet solutions for the auditorium that help manage sound while offering a refined aesthetic worthy of a premier cultural destination, along with lobby, backstage, and VIP-area materials. Installation was completed by the venue's contractor; our role covered specification guidance, sourcing, and delivery phased around the performance schedule.
Northern Lights Design is a specialty materials supplier — we don't perform installation. Installation labor on this project was carried out by the owner's contractor and their trade partners.
