Hult Center for the Performing Arts

The Hult Center for the Performing Arts is a performing arts venue in downtown Eugene with two main halls of different sizes. The larger one seats about 2,400 people while the smaller theater accommodates around 500.

The building opened in 1982 and became the city's main performing arts venue from that point forward. Its creation helped establish Eugene as a place where theater, concerts, and dance would flourish.

The center hosts four resident performing groups that call this building home, making it a gathering place where the community experiences its own musicians and dancers. Local artists have built their reputations here, and the venue reflects the city's commitment to supporting regional talent.

The venue sits within walking distance in downtown Eugene, making it easy to reach and pair with other activities in the city center. You can easily visit on foot and explore the nearby streets before or after a show.

The larger concert hall features an unusual woven wooden ceiling pattern that catches the eye when you look up. The smaller theater has an asymmetrical design where metal catwalks remain exposed, letting you see some of the working machinery behind performances.
