Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities Reviews

Great place to see beautiful art exhibits theatrical shows, concerts and in the summer they have outdoor concerts.Great for the entire family.

Great venue to see shows, and they put on great shows with adult actors for child audiences, but the two times my kids participated in a show there, they had an very slight elitist attitude and were cast as chorus members, which is not the way it is advertised, and did not learn much in the way of new skills. There are better programs in the area. Good place for young children to watch, but not learn. They offer too much variety and the focus is very broad. That same variety is great for a school field trip, where kids can get involved and see a show (with adults in the cast obviously), do an art project, do a tour backstage, but I found I couldn't get everything from them, so be it.

Fabulous community Arts Center. A well kept secret that deserves attention. Award winning shows & engaging classes

"White Christmas" was a lovely surprise. We thought we'd be seeing a remake of the Bing Crosby movie, but no. Arvada again presented a stellar cast, amazing dance numbers (loved the piano scene), new and fresh and funny dialogue and added music, and amazing, creative sets. We've been attending for years and so appreciate this jewel! Thank you!

Very beautiful architecture while hosting many superb shows.

Lots of unique art displayed here. A lot of them are interactive.

Excellent sound quality, wonderful shows! I like the variety of shows! We are @ Front Range Youth Symphony!

Love the venue.
Easy Parking, no traffic to fight getting in and out. It's a smaller venue than the DCPA, so only up close seats and the auditoriums are designed in such a way that nobody in front of you ever obscures your view; performances are Top Notch quality, though I'm not always sure who decides which plays to perform - there have been some strange ones.

Really beautiful center, got my art into the awards show they hosted and it was gorgeous and so we'll put together to show everything.

Woot woot. Theres loads of entertainment here. Give it a chance and you;ll be glad.

Very unique statuary and art presentations. Changing outdoor art. Always something new.

I watched my son in law perform with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra here one evening in early August.

The large grass sloped lawn area behind the seats was very comfortable to sit on with a blanket but the slope was so steep that I had to continually fight to prevent myself from slipping down off my blanket.

The good thing about the steep slope is of course that the stage is very easy to have a good view of from any where on the grassy lawn.

I'll have to bring a low lawn chair the next time I visit here.

Great place has many different classes me and my daughter took a parent child cerminics class

Loved the show! We had a great time. I am still humming the songs!

Such a great, fun place to visit! Never a disappointment. From the artwork to the atmosphere, this is a fun fun center. For the whole family.

There are always well curated collections of works from local, regional, national and international artists.

There's also great programs for all ages, abilities and interests.

Great place to take your kids. Tons of different sports!!

Did a stage combat workshop and learned a lot! The teacher was very helpful, hopefully I will be able to do this again

this is a great place to go every day, because of the breathtaking scenery and the very fresh air of this place the super deliciousness makes me feel amazing! After I go to this place .

We have been fans of the Arvada Center since it was built. It is nice to have a pace outside of Denver to see a good concert.

The venue is big enough to accommodate a good number of people yet provide an intimate feel.

The staff is friendly and helpful.

They also have a variety of classes for the community.

Recommend checking them out.

We have had season tiks to Arvada for several years, now. We always look forward to their productions, which are very professionally done! Their set designs are very artistic. Almost all of the performers belong to Actors Equity, and are almost, if not as good as performances you will see at DPAC...many of them perform there, also! We always look forward to their ever changing art displays, also...Denver, and surrounding areas are VERY talented! The cost for tiks make Arvada very affordable, and their selections of plays (both serious and comedic), along with wonderful musicals (always a live orchestra), ensure that there is something for everyone! Great Denver/Arvada attraction!

We saw Mama Mia. The production was excellent and the actors were very talented. Nice venue with great seating. The sound was very good and center is a very comfortable venue with a lot going on. We went on an art walk prior to the performance and meet the artists. A very fun event.

This center is amazing. So many great programs here. Went with my daughters class to see Seussical, but have been here to play, walk through the art field outside, take ballet lessons, art exhibits, and multiple live performances. Wonderful place.

Very nice facility and great service and catering. The flan was awesome!!!

We took a field trip to see Ella Enchanted and the staff a super organized as far as placement of groups and communication. The workshops were relevant and engaging. We look forward to seeing them again next school year.

I really enjoyed the Colorado Ballet!! An Evening Under the Stars

This was a wonderful experience. I met my favorite author, Augusten Burroughs here and was welcomed by the ladies at the entrance. What a wonderful evening!

This is a wonderful place and theaters are great. They have very talented actors for every play. The performances are always wonderful.

This is high production value thestre right here in Westminster. It has big city quality, a professional talent pool and a brilliant artistic team. Whether you are seeing one of their evening Mainstage Shows, their Children's Theatre Productions, or their Repertory Theatre Performances, you will see no difference in the level of quality of presentation. Pricing is Affordable and the seeding is excellent with steep raked seats to afford everyone a great view.

Omg this place is so good! As long as you have an understanding about the artists and take the dedicated route, it is super cool. If you re looking for something to walk around during the day, I definitely recommend it. I love all of the art and it s just so quiet and peaceful.

Bought covered tier 2 seats a couple of days before the show. These were nice since it did end up raining, but all of the lawn areas would have provided a great view for cheap. Not a bad seat in the house as this place is intimate but designed well.

Went to the outdoor ballerina show, it was fantastic, would totally recommend.

Always a GREAT show going on at the Arvada Center! Highest quality productions, with the talent to match! You wouldn't get much better on Broadway!

Sign up for a class in dance, painting, ceramics, etc. or stop by to check out the indoor and outdoor displays. Covid has reduced the staff on hand but still super enjoyable.

Great space! Attended the Fabric & Friends Luncheon here and it was a great space to hold a silent auction, live auction, and lunch.

Great evening of theater with our family. Enjoyed 'Elf the musical' immensely!

This game is a small intimate venue for local theater and a small time concerts

Fantastic Arts Complex with very affordable lessons for kids. The staff are attentive and responsive. Great plays for kids that only last 1 hour, but are completely Suited to kid tastes.

Great facility! Nice people, well ran, clean space. I go here for classes and feel that I get a great value!

I love the Arvada Center. They have the best shows and I love their amphitheater

Amazing actors and musicals!!! Always above amd beyond my expectations and priced wonderfully!

Arts and Ales!! Great music, Jack T. Great tasting and beer sampling. Loved it!!!

Nice dinner for our organization. Very good food and waiter service.

We love hanging out at this playground because the kiddos are encouraged to use their imagination instead of relying on highly interactive toys

Great place to study and relax but also to take art classes and dance classes. Great center, I recommend that you go there!

Every play is a treasure! All are fun to watch or are thought provoking. I enjoy all of the gallery exhibits.

The Arvada center for the performing arts is a wonderful addition to the Denver Metropolitan area. It is a nonprofit, but the production quality is very high and very professional. The after community classes suited for everyone of all ages, and performances that are likewise good for all. I recommend the musicals and holiday shows as they are spectacular and something I come back to time and time again.

Very intimate smaller amphitheater which makes for a great concert experience!

Exceptionally unique, creative classes! Teachers are gifted artists. Classes at this local gem are reasonably priced and fill quickly. Staff is incredibly helpful!

The Arvada Center is full of amazing history, comedy, romance and great sounds of many decades. I believe the Arvada Center is always worth checking out..it could be a potential new hot spot for you and your family. They even hold some car shows in the summer months.

I just finished my first water color class I learned alot and has a good time.. I would recommend the arvada center for performing arts to anyone.

We had a wonderful day, thank you for making it so handicap accessible. You all made one wheelchair bound boy very happy today! The performance was extordinary!

Beautiful venue for the Colorado Symphony even if it's a bit small. Great sound and lights system.

Arvada Center tonight was great. Michael Martin Murphy was entertaining. Great atmosphere, food and drink very good.

A gem. They produce great theatre, host art shows and community events. Classes of all sorts.

We really enjoy it here we are from Florida but every time we come to Arvada we come here always different displace

I love that they cater to the young children and have great programs. The play grounds are stupendous and the kids loved it. Great for outdoor picnics. Yes, we will go there again.

Wow! We saw Elf the musical here and we were blown away! What a great show and how neat that a town like Arvada would have such an awsome art and cultural center?

Excellent performance of Educating Rita. We loved it . Just wish the seats in the Black Box theatre had better seats.

Every show I've seen here has been top-notched. Lots of amazing talent.

Love this place for statuary art by local artists that are continusly rotated.

awesome art shows. cool history. DIRT WALL. big statues.

Always an amazing performance. We've been coming for years.

Surprised at the excellent show! Went to Mamma Mia last night with 10 friends and ALL were singing the praises, forgive the pun, of the facility and the production.

Truly an excellent Center that does so many things, and is so versatile. The center really does encompass all aspects of Art. I seen "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat" here, and the performance was amazing. My wife and I greatly enjoy this place.

Great place to see an intimate concert outside. Love that you can bring a picnic style lunch with you.

My daughter and I love to play behind the Performing Arts Center where there is a giant dragon
