Additional Information
All food related products and non-alcoholic beverage services must be provided by a caterer on our preferred list of caterers (click here for a list of preferred caterer.) Catering arrangements must be contracted separately with each individual caterer.
When using the Dayton Fowler Grafman Atrium for a trade show event, the renter must pay 10 percent of the vendor registration fee to the Scottsdale Cultural Council. (Example: A vendor booth costs $500, therefore $50 would be due to SCC.)
When renting the theaters, the Atrium is available for private use for an additional fee of $500 for commercial and $250 for nonprofit organizations.
The Atrium also houses the Center’s box office, Young @ Art Gallery and theater entrances. Events held during public hours must allow access to these areas. Any events that require prohibiting public access must be scheduled during hours when the facility would normally be closed. Set-up time for these events is limited in order to preserve public access to the Center during normal business hours. Café fixtures and furniture, etc., must remain in place. Artwork may not be obscured, moved or covered. Temporary decorations, displays and equipment are limited to items that are freestanding and can be moved easily into place.
First-priority scheduling is reserved for the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. All bookings are scheduled within the Scottsdale Cultural Council’s fiscal year, which runs from July 1 through June 30. The Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts season is secured in the calendar by the end of April and the remaining available dates are released for public rentals on May 1. Due to this process, known availability and bookings for the subsequent season will not be available until this time.
SCC facility and rates are subject to change and availability. Call the facility rentals manager for more information at 480-874-4604.
