A Place to Create

Through offerings that spark ideas, conversations and experiences relevant to current topics, we build connections in our community, and beyond. Our space includes a 300-seat auditorium and stage, an art gallery, dance studio, music library and practice rooms, a green room, and office and storage space. Our gallery exhibits are constantly changing, and are always free and open to the public.

A Unique Space

Designed with the future in mind, the Currier Center building features a sustainable design with plenty of natural light to contribute to the feeling of movement and activity within. Inside, bold colors heighten the experience of the performance spaces, gallery walls can be moved to reconfigure the exhibition space, and gorgeous views connect visitors to the surrounding landscape.
