The new center fulfills a longtime goal of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/eugeneballet.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Eugene Ballet<\/a> and other organizations to create a permanent space large enough for students and performers to rehearse adequately, with plenty of administrative space and room to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centerpiece of the center is the seven rehearsal studios on the second and third floors. The two main studios are located on the third floor, with one the size of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hultcenter.org\/plan-your-visit\/rent-the-hult\/#soreng-theater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hult Center\u2019s Soreng Theater stage<\/a>, around 1,700 square feet, and a bigger one the size of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hultcenter.org\/plan-your-visit\/rent-the-hult\/#silva-concert-hall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silva Concer<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hultcenter.org\/plan-your-visit\/rent-the-hult\/#silva-concert-hall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">t<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hultcenter.org\/plan-your-visit\/rent-the-hult\/#silva-concert-hall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Hall<\/a> stage at 3,100 square feet. Studio spaces are <a href=\"\/studio-rentals\/\">available for rent<\/a> for rehearsals and private events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Midtown Arts Center houses the administrative offices of building owner <a href=\"https:\/\/eugeneballet.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eugene Ballet<\/a>. Additionally, the Ballet leases administrative office space to eight organizations on the first floor: <a href=\"https:\/\/chambermusicamici.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chamber Music Amici<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/eugeneconcertchoir.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eugene Concert Choir<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/eugeneopera.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eugene Opera<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/instaballet.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#instaballet<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lanearts.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lane Arts Council<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orchestranext.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Orchestra NEXT<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/picfest.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pacific International Choral Festivals<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonmozartplayers.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oregon Mozart Players<\/a>. The non-profit groups reduce costs by sharing maintenance and operating costs, while their colocation promotes collaboration on arts projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first floor also includes <a href=\"\/conference-room-rentals\/\">rentable conference rooms<\/a> and an art gallery with rotating art, and the entrance to the <a href=\"https:\/\/eugeneballet.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eugene Ballet Academy<\/a>, which serves more than 300 children a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Midtown Arts Center is part of a 128,000 square foot development, called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.midtowneugene.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Midtown<\/a>,\u201d that includes housing and commercial space.
