The Harris Arts Center and the Milton Ratner Performing Arts Theater are available for special events rental by individuals and organizations for weddings, wedding receptions, corporate meetings/luncheons, educational seminars, training seminars, and private social events.
We offer discounted rates for members, non-profit organizations, and educational groups.
