David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center
The David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center is a new facility that opened in Fall 2022. It serves as a sustainable and inclusive hub for artists and the community to create, present, and engage with various forms of artistic expression, including performance, literary, and visual arts. Housed in the historic Orangerie, originally owned by John D. Rockefeller, the center features a gallery, performance space, and flexible artist studios.
The center includes a mobile telescopic unit with 180 retractable benches type B05, and 755 loose stackable seats. The retractable seating system can be used in partially opened mode to create a more intimate seating arrangment for a smaller audience.
