The Event Center at Wadsworth Square

Community Gatherings & Fundraisers

The Wadsworth Square Foundation built this campus so the community would have somewhere to gather. Fundraisers, nonprofit galas, workshops, and public meetings are the events it was meant for.

All events

A fundraiser here can be more than a dinner. Pair the evening with a performance at the 900-seat Celestia Theater next door and donors get a night they would have bought tickets to anyway, which changes what a ticket is worth.

Workshops, seminars, and public meetings get daylight, flexible seating, and parking that does not require a plan. The room reads as civic rather than corporate, which matters when you are asking people to show up on a weeknight.

Because the Foundation operates the building, community organizations are talking to the people who set the calendar rather than to a management company.

Questions we get

All questions
Do you offer nonprofit rates?

Rates are being finalized with the Foundation. Mention that you are a nonprofit in your request and our events team will tell you what applies to your event.

Can we pair a fundraiser with a Celestia Theater performance?

Yes, and it is one of the strongest reasons to hold a fundraiser here. Mention it in your request and our team will look at what is on the theater calendar around your date.

Is the space suitable for a public meeting?

Yes. Theater and classroom configurations both work for public meetings, and the downtown location keeps it easy to reach for people coming straight from work.
