About the Community Arts Center

The Community Arts Center is a 15,000 square foot facility owned and operated by the Centralia Cultural Society, a not for profit organization.

In 2008 the new gallery/multipurpose room was completed that features a cathedral-style ceiling along with floor to ceiling windows. During the expansion, the existing main hall (that can be set for auditorium seating with a capacity of 275), was refurbished with fresh color and new carpeting in order to give a continuous visual flow through the building.

Separating thew two main rooms is a comfortable lounge/lobby area that allows access to the new ADA approved restrooms. The facility also includes: a performance stage, dressing rooms, large rehearsal room, board room, smaller meeting rooms along with storage area, workshop & kitchen. The center also has a well-lighted, free parking lot.
