Welcome to The Dairy Center for the Arts, a cultural arts complex founded in 1992, and the only place in Boulder, Colorado to experience dramatic theater, live music, dance performances and visual arts all under one roof.
Housed in the historic Watts-Hardy building, a 42,000-square foot facility that once operated as a dairy storage and processing plant, The Dairy is home to more than fifteen premier arts and community service organizations. These resident organizations share space, resources and talents to provide more than 150,000 visitors each year with classes, exhibits, workshops and performances in theater, dance, music, film, and literary and visual arts.
The Dairy proudly features three professional theater venues, three art galleries, a spacious lobby for special events and a popular cafe. The building also includes a community box office, studios and classrooms, a conference room, and office spaces.
Join us in continuing to make art happen! Become a Dairy member, and help to grow and sustain this unique community treasure.
