Rent Our Space
Live Arts is housed in a modern, state of the art facility. Centrally located in the heart of Charlottesville, our building contains both large and small fully-functioning theaters, a large multipurpose room, a smaller meeting room, an expansive wrap-around fourth floor deck with great views of the sunset, and an elegant open third floor lobby with a built-in bar and comfortable seating.
We have high speed Internet access through our friends at Ting, theatrical lighting options (of course), and concert-quality sound systems. When not in use for our productions, we offer our spaces – and even the entire building – at affordable rental rates.
The Live Arts building has been the host of wedding receptions, birthday parties, corporate celebrations, and a three-day design/tech conference. If you are looking for a place to have a special event, a retirement party, a happy hour, or a rehearsal dinner, we think you’ll find what you’re looking for in one of our Live Arts rental packages.
Below you’ll find information about our various spaces.
