Our theater can accommodate 150 people for a seated meal with room for a small dance floor area, or 200 people for a standing reception, depending on your needs and general set-up. Our Gallery has seating for 40-50 people. Only our venue is included in our rental packages. Please visit Additional Rental Items for chair and table rentals. We do not provide linens, dishware, cocktail tables, decorations, or flowers, thus these items must be arranged through an outside vendor. We promote diversity through the events we provide in the visual and performing arts. We make our space available to artists and groups who might not otherwise have access to a professionally equipped and accessible facility or the cultural mainstream because we are a multi-use art center.
