Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts

Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts is a multi-functional event venue and performing arts center located in Oakland, California, offering six event spaces for a wide range of productions and gatherings. The center houses a 25,000-square-foot arena, a 1,500-seat proscenium theatre, a speakeasy-style lounge, and two hotel-style ballrooms, hosting events ranging from symphonies and concerts to conferences and screenings. The historic building operated for an original 90-year run hosting performances, concerts, and recitals, and has since been renovated as a multi-functional event space serving East Bay arts and cultural organizations. Located at 10 10th Street in Oakland, near Downtown Oakland, Chinatown, and Lake Merritt, with BART access and on-site parking. Visitors note the building's beauty and recent renovation, praise the mezzanine and floor seating for sound quality, and highlight convenient parking and proximity to BART as practical advantages.
