Clark Center for the Performing Arts

The Clark Center for the Performing Arts is a nonprofit performing arts venue in Arroyo Grande that books touring acts, tribute bands, comedians, musicals and ballet, along with community productions and school performances. Its shows range from concerts and tributes to family-friendly and educational events, and it also hosts a visual arts exhibit and a local artists' gallery in the lobby.

The main hall, Forbes Hall, seats 617, and the smaller Studio Theatre seats about 120. Parking is free, and both theaters are available to rent for events. The center is supported by patrons, donors, sponsors and more than 150 volunteers, and it has funded over $300,000 in scholarships and grants for young performing artists and teachers in the Lucia Mar Unified School District. Tickets are sold through the box office, which may be temporarily unavailable during site maintenance.
