Nestled in downtown Hartford, the Schauer Arts Center is a nonprofit regional center for the arts, making us Washington County's most unique special event venue. Filled with culture and history, the Schauer Arts Center was transformed from a 1919 canning factory into an architectural award-winning, state-of-the-art performing and visual arts center. Soaring 14-foot loft ceilings, stunning natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, and exposed beams showcase a blend of industrial charm and elegance. Easy highway accessibility from I-43 with free parking and elevator access to persons with disabilities. The Wisconsin Auto Museum is right next door—a great opportunity for your guests during cocktail hour.
The Schauer Arts Center is available for both public, ticketed shows and private, non-ticketed events. No matter your event, our professional staff will work closely with you to ensure your event receives a standing ovation. The Schauer Arts Center is perfect for:
