Dairy Arts Center

Calendar Booking Process

  • We will be booking dates based on the total amount of rentals. See below for details. 
  • In order to serve as many organizations as possible, we can no longer hold dates for long periods of time without a serious commitment. Therefore, we will only hold dates on the calendar upon receiving a non-refundable deposit amounting to 25% of the venue rate for your requested dates. This invoice will be due within 3 weeks of confirming the availability of your requested dates. 
  • The 2024/2025 rate sheet can be found here
  • All requests for dates will be processed through our online venue request form found here
  • Email communications about available dates will not be considered official   requests for dates
