Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities Reviews

Very interesting place with great programs! The art sculptures change sometimes and they are all unique and beautiful

Great venue for events! Spacious and accessible. Beautiful grounds, plenty of parking. No complaints.

I have been a season ticket member for about 3 years, and have been n impressed at the variety and quality of the shows that have been performed. Most recently I saw "A Christmas Carol" - the musical and wad thrilled with the transformation of this old story. Earlier this year, "Bright Star" was a new to me show, very well performed and entertaining.

The ladies at the front box office were awesome. We were able to upgrade our seats so easily 2 days before our show. Fantastic night.

Beautiful area that hosts concerts, art shows and more. Enjoy a short walk through their grounds, see some art and maybe even catch some pokemon ;)

We finally did this! I love calling in and learning about the sculptures from their creators! Do this! Try this!

So nice to be able to see quality productions with amazing talent close to home. There's not a bad seat in the house and tickets seem more affordable. And parking is free and easy!

Amazing classes for children by amazing instructors

Easy parking, great shows with snacks and wine before and at intermission, and always art in the lobby.

Went here sense I was a kid and going here everyday reminds me of the good old days but the need to repaint dragon/ snake

Often great shows with top level talent. Gives DCPA a run for their money. Beautiful facility. Interesting events.

Doesn't always have the best plays and musicals, but very cool venue for Arvada.

I was amazed when I walked in the door. When I explored the area inside and out, I found that this place had more to offer then what i thought I would find. From giant larger then life art objects to historical objects and community outreach. Not only do they have thearter but they also support local meetings as well. This is a definite go to place for anyone wanting a mix of culture and community.

This is a great center. In addition to hosting performances and plays, they offer many classes including drama, music, pottery, dance, and visual arts classes. There are classes for all ages, both during the school year and during the summer, and they have amazing teachers as well. Besides performances and classes, the Arvada Center is also home to a historical museum featuring various pioneer equipment and lifestyle information, as well as galleries featuring local artists.

Fantastic place and cultural keystone for the westside of the metro area.

Wonderful place, great exhibits, great shows and great classes!

I use the art field for Pokemon Go. There's three gyms here, and usually there are people raiding here. It can get cold, and the field is wet. Watch out for geese poop!

It's beautiful here. A great place to bring the kids.

Always a fun time. I've seen a few musical performances, all of which have been very professionally done. Such a nice stage, very intimate.

Beyond thankful for this center. Great classes. Ceramics. Painting. Acting. Theatre. Teachers are all wonderful. Good pricing.

Took my grandma to see All My Sons and she loved it. The only thing is that the performance was in The Black Box Theatre which is MUCH smaller than the normal theatre. I wish the box office would have been more clear about that because I paid the same price. Oh well still had a blast. Will definitely be coming again.

The Foreigner was original and highly entertaining. The facility is beautiful and clean. The Black Box theatre feels like the play is being performed in your living room.

Went to see the Year with Frog and Toad play with my seven year old. The actors were so professional! I loved every minute, and it was great hearing all the giggles. The sculpture gardens outside are an added bonus!

Absolutely a great music venue! Pay the extra and get the covered seats. Well worth the extra $$.

Our children have done a few activities at the Arvada Center. I highly recommend the Art Start program for preschoolers. Art exhibits are nice to visit during wait times during classes. Outdoor theater is fun for family. Great programs, a bit confusing facility but not difficult. Squiggles in playground is exciting for children, and it's now nicely shaded with mature trees.

Great venue.. staff is super courteous and the grounds are very clean. Great place for a concert!

Huge Pokemon go spot. Lots of art to look at while walking around. No shade though.

I attended the Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy (CLEL) Conference here on Friday, October 4, 2019. It's a perfect venue for a small conference. Excellent refreshments throughout the day. Fairly good lunch. Attentive wait staff keeping the meeting rooms picked up and rearranging meeting rooms as needed between sessions. Easy to find and park. Clean bathrooms. Sure beats battling traffic to attend conferences in downtown Denver!

"The Diary of Anne Frank" was heartwrenching and superbly performed. If it wasn't already sold out, I'd be telling everyone I know not to miss it.

Saw big bad voodoo daddy and it's was incredible. The stadium is small enough you can see the stage from the very back

Nice theater, saw Christmas Carol in Dec 2019. Personal touches was nice, our tickets came with free cookies which was really well thought out for a first time guest. Enjoyed the show!

Amazing (tiny) venue with perfect acoustics. Mostly covered seating with some nice lawn seating and plenty of space to dance if you're like me and not one to sit through a concert. Wonderful craft beer choices as well as unexpectedly fine food! I will be a regular patron here!

It's a beautiful place. Lots to see for free. Lots of classes and activities you can sign up for. Beautiful art outside to see.

This is a really nice place for events. Friendly staff very nice venue!

Great venue to see a play. Not a bad seat in the house!!

I watched this place grow and adapt over the years. And always a good attraction to tell visitors to check out

I loved the whole atmosphere. The Arts was amazing along with the musical . I really enjoyed seeing the ballet class in there at the same time as everything else was going on. It was Very clean too with nice people.

I signed up for the teen theater group a couple months ago. They moved me up from the little kid one because I guess I had enough experience even though I was only 12. Well turns out the group had FOUR people! What in the actual hell?! If only four people (including me) sign up, then number one... THATS TELLING! & number two... DONT HAVE THE CLASS!! They even charged extra to move up. However, I learned from the experience... don t take classes at the Arvada Center. :p

Nice variety. Loved CHORUS LINE. Also The FOREIGNER was just fun in many ways.

Perfect for outdoor art stoll and learning about Colorado's local artists

Took a 2nd grade class on a field trip we all had a lot of fun

What a great place. Bringing the arts to everyone. Make a stop, you won't regret it.

Fantastic 'little' arts center. Love their theatre program. Seen two shows with lovely friends and loved every show.

Sound system is clear, but seating is not friendly on the knees when sitting for long periods of time.

Wow every seat is a great seat in this venue. We saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. What a fabulous production!

A showcase of the community and world of art and exploration. This place has a cool park and very beautiful art exhibits. It is a awesome place for kids summer camps and to watch a play! Very fun for families or solo visits! Also a sculpture park walk is in the front.

The Arvada Center is a wonderful place for local artists to showcase their works, catch a play, pick up a pottery class or host a special event.

Just went as a chaperone on a school field trip and it was fun and well-organized. We saw Dr Seussical the Musical and the kids enjoyed it...it was colorful and had a sweet message. Enjoyed the performance and the center itself was nice.

A nice local theater with great productions and shows!

This fantastic, multi-purpose arts facility opened in 1976 and has grown to become one of the largest multidisciplinary arts centers in the country.

There are three galleries, including the massive main gallery space, the 526 seat Main Stage and 226 seat Black Box theaters, a large ballroom/conference center, and many well-equipped spaces for teaching acting/performance art, ceramics, dance, humanities, movement/yoga, music, photography, and visual arts.

I attend most frequently to visit the art galleries which present shows of local, regional, and national significance that are extremely well-displayed and well-curated. The theater season and educational programs are also highly-regarded.

The facility is always very clean (and beautiful) and they always host great events. I went for a workshop through my school district and the room was very open and spacious. The lighting was also perfect. The staff behind the desk off to the left were also very friendly. I also saw a show here once and it was very pleasant. The flow of things was very smooth.

This is a review for the playground. The town of Arvada has this listed as a park with a playground. In actuality, there are statues and structures for children to climb on. For younger kids, there isn't much of interest. There are picnic tables, so this would be a good place to go with lunch packed and some older (ages 4+) kids. Younger kids with small legs won't be able to climb any of the animal statues very easily.

The Arvada Center consistently offers high quality entertainment. The productions are always fantastic, especially the children's theatre.

Very nice facility, always lots of things going on there. I enjoy seeing plays & musicals there. Their Children's plays are always fun to take younger grandchildren to (ages 3 to about 9 or 10).

This facility is doing phenominal work! The CEO himself was involved and engaged, the whole time, in the Pillsbury House Theater Breaking Ice performance yesterday and today as well as our facilitated discuasion afterward. He also had his key staff and community business and stakeholders there. What activity was being engaged in? I.D.E.A. which stands for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access with the riviting theater and authentic conversation after... His actions in being there and in committing staff is an absolute picture of a real commitment to change... I hope to help the center do more!

Love their programs, convenience, and frequently changing art exhibitions and performances.

The Arvada Center is a wonderful venue. The Contemplative Outreach Center of Colorado holds our annual conference there and the events are always successful
The event staff is professional and know how to provide great service with great food choices. There is plenty of parking and the building is easily accessible for special needs.

I had to find the Black Box Theatre myself, way in the back. Once there, the ushers were very helpful. The play "All My Sons" was tragic, but the acting was excellent!

Easy access - all seats are good seats in all 3 venues, main, black box, & outdoors in the seats (not a fan of the lawn)
Great plays & concerts

Great exhibit showing amazing printmaking going on now through March. 528.0 showcasing printmakers within a 528 mile radius.
