Hopkins Center for the Arts

The Hopkins Center for the Arts is a performing arts and film venue at Dartmouth College featuring auditoriums of different sizes for various events. It contains a 237-seat Loew Auditorium and a 900-seat Spaulding Auditorium for theatrical performances, screenings, and concerts.

The center was founded as home to the Dartmouth Film Society, the first college film society in the United States. This role made it a pioneer in academic film culture and shaped its character for decades.

The center hosts opera broadcasts, theatrical performances, and film festival selections throughout the year. These events draw cultural enthusiasts from the area and create space for artistic conversations.

Visitors can enjoy films, theater, and music events throughout the year with over 200 screenings offered regularly. Discussions with filmmakers and artists often accompany events, so checking the schedule in advance helps plan your visit.

Beyond theater and film, the venue houses workshops for woodwork, metalwork, jewelry making, and ceramics. These craft studios make it more than just a performance space.
