The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities was founded in 1976. Having served the community for over a quarter of a century, this arts center has grown to be the tenth largest cultural attraction in the Denver area. The Arvada Center is proud to offer award-winning, professional regional theater (both plays and musicals); Denver’s best children’s theater; a wide variety of concerts; classical and contemporary dance performances; nationally recognized gallery exhibitions; a history museum; over 600 arts and humanities classes each year for students of all ages; and a banquet and conference facility that serves thousands of people through business and personal events.
