CLARA Auditorium

CLARA Auditorium is a flexible indoor venue in Midtown Sacramento, available to hire for performances, meetings, workshops, private celebrations and community gatherings. Set within CLARA, a historic arts and culture centre, the auditorium pairs a bright, open room with a stage and performance facilities, making it suitable for both seated events and more informal occasions.

The space can accommodate up to 100 guests for a seated dinner, 120 in a semi-seated arrangement, 150 in theatre-style seating or 200 standing. Its hardwood floor, high ceilings, large windows and white walls provide a simple setting that organisers can adapt to their event. An adjoining lobby and two internal bathrooms are included, along with Wi-Fi and on-site staff support.

The standard hire includes a raised platform stage, pipe and drape curtains, padded chairs and folding tables. Event equipment includes a sound system, a wired microphone and stand, a theatrical lighting rig, LED floodlights and spotlights. Additional items and services can be requested, including a projector and screen, extra microphones, a baby grand piano, cocktail tables, linens and help with room set-up or stage and drape adjustments.

Organisers can request the auditorium for arts and culture programmes as well as non-arts occasions. Bookings are made through CLARA's rental process, which lets organisers check availability and submit event details. The venue is part of a wider collection of hireable spaces at CLARA, with accessible entry to the auditorium and parking nearby.
