Located in the vibrant center of Downtown Chandler, Chandler Center for the Arts is an engaging, welcoming, innovative space serving our diverse community. With three dynamic performance spaces - the 1500-seat Main Stage, the 350-seat Hal Bogle Theatre, and the 250-seat Recital Hall, as well as two extensive art galleries - The Gallery at CCA and Vision Gallery - Chandler Center for the Arts presents the work of today’s most engaging, enlightening and relevant artists.
The Chandler Center for the Arts is a collaborative leader. Opening its doors in 1989, the City of Chandler contracts with the nonprofit Chandler Cultural Foundation to act as the programming and fundraising entity of the Chandler Center for the Arts on behalf of the City. The Chandler Center for the Arts collaboratively serves the needs of students in the Chandler Unified School District with a school arts curriculum, Monday through Thursday, as well as residents from Chandler and the surrounding Metro Phoenix area, Friday through Sunday, with performances, exhibitions and events.
The mission of the Chandler Center for the Arts is to make visual and performing arts available to the entire Chandler population; to become a creative force and an educational resource for the community; and to harness the economic vitality of the arts.
