The Arts Center also is able to assist rentors with coordinating additional services, such as advertising placement, outside equipment rental, catering and hotel accommodation coordination, and other needs that are regularly required by artist contract.
Please note that the Community Arts Center is a smoke-free building.
The Arts Center cannot accommodate requests for alcoholic beverages backstage or in any other non-licensed area of the building.
Rentors must present a certificate for liability insurance coverage in the amount of $1 million per instance prior to day of show.
Please be aware that, because the Arts Center offers its patrons an annual advanced seating option, we require a minimum of ten working days between inclusion of your event and first day of public sale. THE ARTS CENTER WILL NOT FOREGO ITS OBLIGATION TO ITS ADVANCED SEATING PATRONS, NOR WILL IT DISLOCATE PATRONS FROM THEIR SEATS EXCEPT FOR PURPOSES OF TECHNICAL NEED. THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.
The Arts Center cannot make all seats available to the public until our
advanced seating patrons have had the opportunity to purchase the event. The Arts Center cannot add additional performances or "hide" add-on performances subject to announced shows having sold out. Our policy is to put ALL performances of an event on sale simultaneously. This is non-negotiable.
The Arts Center also requests that all rentors submit their breaking ads or ad
copy for review and approval prior to placement of same. Your event cannot go
on sale until this obligation has been met.
Please also be advised that, due to limitations in the structural integrity of the theatre as well as concerns about preservation of its decorative arts, hanging points are not allowed in front of or beyond the stage proscenium.
