About the Stocker Arts Center

Our Mission

At Stocker Arts Center, art meets drama and drama meets life. We provide a venue that connects our diverse cultural community to LCCC by entertaining, educating, exciting and inspiring through performances, the arts, and educational events.

Our History

The Stocker Arts Center opened its doors in 1980, and since then has become one of the top performing and visual arts venues in Ohio. More than one million people visited the Center during its first 25 years of operation to enjoy one of the thousands of live performances, films, art gallery events and community rental events. We're now working on our second million!

Named after the late C. Paul Stocker – a successful industrialist who believed in philanthropy and service to educational, civic and community organizations – Stocker Arts Center has hosted artists, vocal and instrumental groups, dance and theatre troupes, circus performers, politicians, acrobats, celebrities and more. The performances are a variety of professional touring music, theatre, and dance attractions from throughout the United States and around the world.

The center features a 994-seat maximum (variable from 934 seats) Main Theatre, a 219-seat Lecture Hall, a 219-seat Cinema Hall, a black box called the Studio Theatre, a Dance Studio, a Rehearsal Hall, and the Beth K. Stocker Art Gallery. The gallery exhibitions feature a mixture of professional artists, community, faculty and student work.

The C. Paul Stocker Humanities and Fine Arts Center is also home to the Lorain County Community College (LCCC) Division of Arts & Humanities, and is the performing home for the LCCC Civic Chorale, Orchestra, Concert Band, Jazz Band, and Theatre program.
