Krannert Center is a vibrant and welcoming crossroads for the performing arts on the campus of the University of Illinois. As a premier professional and educational complex, the Center hosts over 300 performances annually that include artists like the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Buddy Guy, Yo-Yo Ma, Mark Morris Dance Group, Savion Glover, and the biennial ELLNORA | The Guitar Festival, alongside works by the dance, theatre, and music programs at the university and the Champaign-Urbana Symphony and Sinfonia de Camera.

Many spaces within the Center are available for rent, from the expansive lobby to the intimate Krannert Room. Our private rooms and venues can host your meetings, luncheons, dinner parties, weddings, receptions, cocktail parties, and more. We offer in-house catering, as well as technical support for your audio/visual needs. Whether you are expecting 20 people or 2,000, we have a space that will work for your event.
