The East Campus Performing Arts Center can really pack the house. With a nearly 500-person capacity, it’s a popular venue for all types of college and community events—from arts performances and film screenings to a visiting lecturer series that brings some of the most innovative writers, musicians, scientists, and activists from around the globe to speak to Valencia students. It also functions as a working classroom, giving dance, music and theater students a place to gain performance experience—and giving everyone else a great venue to watch them.
