ABOUT ARTISPHERE

Artisphere is a new breed of urban arts center that features four distinct performance venues, three visual art galleries, a 4,000 square foot ballroom, and a free Wi-Fi Town Hall. With intimate co-located spaces and multiple programs occurring simultaneously, Artisphere was designed for people and art to collide. Its unique footprint encourages visitors coming for a familiar activity to try something new. Artisphere’s wide array of programming is as diverse as its audience, ranging from contemporary visual art, Shakespeare, late-night DJs, and multi-cultural film fests to spoken word, chamber music, family programs and swing and salsa dancing. Open 85 hours a week, with free admission and event ticket prices averaging $15 (many events are free or pay-what-you-can), Artisphere presents the arts in a fresh and less formal environment. People of all ages and backgrounds can hang out and experience the arts early or late, at a reasonable price point and at their own convenience and pace.
