Artcraft Theatre, Historical movie theater in Franklin, United States.

Artcraft Theatre is a movie theater in Franklin with 625 seats and one screen, built in the early 20th century with decorative architectural details typical of that era. The auditorium features painted ceiling panels and ornamental trim throughout the interior.

The theater opened in 1922 and later became a central location for a regional cinema chain operating from there for many years. Over time, it received modern upgrades including sound systems and climate control.

The theater's name reflects the craftsmanship and artistry valued in the community, and today locals gather here for film screenings and events that bring neighbors together. The space has become central to how people experience entertainment as a group.

The theater is easy to find and staff can help visitors with directions and questions. Screenings tend to draw larger crowds on weekends, so visiting on a weekday often feels more relaxed.

Specialists installed equipment for sound films in the late 1920s and added air conditioning a few years after that. These early upgrades made it one of the more advanced theaters of its era.
