Frequently Asked Questions

What spaces are available?

The AcA has five (5) primary rental spaces currently available. Our state-of-the-art 300-seat Theater, a combination Atrium/Café space, The Artist's Lounge, the Vault, and the Art House. We also have a few smaller spaces (e.g. Art Cube, Board Room) available upon request. The Main Gallery and Side Gallery are available for rental only on a case-by-case basis.

How much are rental fees?

Rental fees vary widely by room, from a minimum of $300 for a 3-hour event in the Vault to over $5,000 for a reception utilizing the entire Theater. Once we have an idea of your event needs, we can quote you a price.

How do I know if space is available?

Our Facilities Manager maintains a calendar with all AcA events, including rental events. Once you have submitted your Rental Request form, we can check availability of the specific room, date, and time you need and respond to your request within two (2) weeks.

When can I tour the facility?

At the time you submit a Rental Request form, please include in your email a note requesting a tour of the facility. Once we have received your Rental Request form and your request for a tour, our Facilities Manager will contact you to schedule a date and time to view the AcA.

Facility Rental Confirmation & Booking Guidelines

A rental will not be considered confirmed until the Lease Agreement and Rental Invoice have been completed and the AcA has received the rental and damage deposits. The balance of the Rental Fee becomes due 30 days before the event date (or immediately, should the event date begin within 30 days of completion of the Lease Agreement). If the balance of the Rental Fee has not been received by the AcA at the due time, the AcA reserves the right to release the booking date, and retain the rental deposit.
