This 40,000 square foot facility houses a 400-seat theatre, art gallery, exhibition spaces, music and dance studios, art classrooms, and event rental spaces including a courtyard and light-filled atrium.

The Center offers comprehensive programming in dance, visual arts, music, film, and theater for all ages.
