Flexible, welcoming space for gatherings that matter
Community-centered arts and media space for nonprofit meetings, workshops, performances, film screenings, and celebrations
Fogartyville is the dynamic space your organization needs for board meetings, staff retreats, planning sessions, and strategy days. Flexible seating, presentation tools, and clear sound support productive conversation without feeling corporate or formal.
From donor receptions to speaker-based benefits, the space allows organizations to host fundraisers that feel intentional and grounded. The room supports speaking, performance, and media while encouraging people to stay, connect, and engage.
The layout, acoustics, and sound system support clear speech and audience engagement. Fogartyville regularly hosts panels, talks, and community conversations, making it a natural fit for dialogue-driven events.
The venue is well suited for acoustic and amplified performances alike. Professional sound, stage lighting, and a defined performance area create a listening-room atmosphere that artists and audiences appreciate.
Fogartyville supports film screenings, documentaries, and visual presentations with projection, sound, and seating layouts that work well for both viewing and post-screening conversation.
Tables, chairs, and room configuration can be adjusted to support hands-on workshops, classes, and trainings. The space balances structure with warmth, helping participants feel comfortable and engaged.
Fogartyville is a good fit for receptions, milestone celebrations, and creative gatherings that prioritize atmosphere over formality. Indoor and outdoor spaces can be used together to create flow and movement.
