Aronoff Center for the Arts
The Aronoff Center for the Arts is located in the
heart of downtown Cincinnati. Designed by renowned architect Cesar
Pelli, the state-of-the-art facility opened in October 1995. The Center
consists of three stunning performance spaces: Procter & Gamble
Hall, Jarson-Kaplan Theater and Fifth Third Bank Theater.
In
addition, the Aronoff Center also houses meeting and reception rooms,
space for rehearsals and the Alice F. & Harris K. Weston Art Gallery.
Procter & Gamble Hall
is the Aronoff Center's largest theater, and seats 2,719, has a
fully-equipped stage, state-of-the-art sound and lighting and a
beautiful ceiling studded with 3,000 fiber optic lenses that create a
starlight effect. The rich color scheme of terra-cotta, teal and ochre
is accented with brass trim and cherry wood. Excellent sightlines and
comfortable seating add to the enjoyment of any event.
The Jarson-Kaplan Theater
seats 437 and is a perfect setting for small and medium-sized
performances or meetings. The theater is surprisingly intimate with
full production capabilities, great acoustics, an attractive design and
excellent sightlines.
The Fifth Third Bank Theater
is a studio theater which seats up to 150 in a theater setting, and can
be configured for a wide variety of functions from theater to dinners
and dances for up to 180. With full lighting and sound, many businesses
will find the space ideal for presentations, conferences, meetings or
parties.
Additional Areas
Rehearsal Hall
A flexible area which can be set up for meetings, dinners and parties.
Located beneath the Fifth Third Bank Theater and sharing the same
access, it can be used in conjunction with the studio theater.
Lobby Areas
Three tiers with capacities ranging from 80 for sit-down dinners to
1000 for stand-up receptions, create a beautiful setting for social
events, meetings and presentations. The exterior wall made of glass
extends from the ground up to the third tier of the lobby and the
custom designed fabric wall on each floor reflects the spectacular
colors seen throughout the Aronoff Center.
The Alice F. and Harris K. Weston Art Gallery
A 3,500 square-foot art gallery that hosts both national and regional
touring art shows and creates a unique setting for dinners and
receptions. The gallery is on two levels, each having a sophisticated,
distinctive look, and can nicely accommodate small or large events.
Green Room
A reception room which may be set up for sit-down dinners of 80,
stand-up receptions for 140 or meetings and presentations. The design
of the Green Room is very subtle with a lovely fabric wall trimmed with
cherry wood and two glass walls which may be blacked-out for screenings.
Center Stage Room
Walls of windows and changing displays of artwork enliven this unique
space that is easily accessible from Seventh Street and the Weston Art
Gallery. Recommended capacity: 120 reception; 64 dinner.
Founder's Room
Will accommodate up to 32 at dinners or up to 45 at stand-up receptions. Great for small meetings and parties.
