  Our unique location, which includes a theater, gallery, and restaurant, is ideal for weddings, private parties, corporate, and non-profit events. The Multicultural Arts Complex is a visual and performing arts center ideally located near I93, the MBTA Lechmere Green Line Station, the Kendall Square Red Line Station, and the Galleria Mall in East Cambridge. The structure, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, was conceived in 1814 by renowned architect Charles Bulfinch, erected in 1889, and refurbished in 1985 as a performing arts center by architect Graham Gund. 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. "Very affordable, super elegant without being over the top, beautiful building and grounds, really friendly and accommodating staff...we couldn't have been happier with the place we picked for our big day, it was perfect!" - C.K.
