Rent the Stocker Arts Center

Since 1980, the C. Paul Stocker Humanities and Fine Arts Center at Lorain County Community College (Stocker Arts Center) has provided local access to remarkable performances, concerts, educational opportunities and amazing gallery exhibitions, serving as an anchor for the cultural arts in Lorain County. Considered one of the top performing and visual arts venues in Ohio, well over one million people visited the Stocker Arts Center in the first 25 years of its operation to enjoy one of the thousands of performances, films, gallery events and community rental events that have taken place here. We are now working on our second million!

Stocker Arts Center has hosted artists, vocal and instrumental groups, dance and theatre troupes, circus performers, politicians, acrobats, celebrities and more. The George and Laurie Hoke Theatre of Stocker Arts Center is perfect for large group performances, meetings and events, seating a maximum of 994 persons. With a capacity of 219 people each, our Cinema Hall and/or Lecture Hall are ideal for smaller events. The theatre and gallery lobby areas are also available for your use, and provide an excellent space for receptions, informational booths, product displays or browsing areas. All of the Stocker spaces are accessible for patrons who use wheelchairs for mobility.

LCCC’s facilities also include additional classroom space for break-out sessions (depending upon availability). Our on-campus LCCC Food Service offers a full complement of refreshment options for purchase by our clients. Our facility can also be scheduled in conjunction with the Spitzer Conference Center and the Ben and Jane Norton Culinary Arts Center, both located adjacent and with interior access to Stocker Arts Center.

Our affordable rental rates and professional staff make it a great place for you to hold your event in this outstanding facility. Whatever your program needs, the Stocker Arts Center staff is ready to assist you with the arrangements for your group.
