The Kingsport Renaissance Center is a facility which
serves the community as a center for the arts and
senior citizen's activities, and as a facility for business
meetings, parties, receptions, classes, showers, and
day-long seminars with breakout rooms. It is managed by
the City of Kingsport's Cultural Services
Division as
part of Parks and Recreation. The facility includes a
350-seat theatre,
three-story sky
lit atrium, art
gallery, gymnasium, meeting rooms and offices. The
Kingsport Renaissance Center,
formerly the
John Sevier School, was renovated in 1991 and now stands
as one of Kingsport's
most prominent
landmarks. It is an architect's masterpiece and stands as a
constant reminder of
Kingsport's history
and as a reality of creative dreams. The Renaissance Center's
diversity makes it
unique and truly a
model that sets renovation standards by which all others can be
measured.
Theatrical performances and concerts are scheduled in the
350-seat theatre
throughout the year.
The theatre is
available for meetings and seminars and is an ideal facility
for
200 people, with
nearby breakout rooms, suitable for all
day functions with or without meals.
A variety of rooms are available for rent, as well as a
three-story atrium that
seats 50 on each level.
The atrium is ideal for a registration and refreshment area
for up to 200
people. This arrangement is
ideal to
incorporate along with the use of the theatre, room 239,
room 310,
and/or the art gallery.
The three levels of the
sky lit atrium lend themselves to various forms of
gatherings.
You may also
want
to provide refreshments for your event,
either by bringing your own food or
making
arrangements
with your favorite caterer.
The Art Gallery on the second level is open to the public Monday through Friday
from 8:00am--8:00pm & Saturday 9am--12Noon. Also open during Special
Events. The Art Gallery
features a different
exhibit each month.
These displays are great to view during meeting breaks and
performance
intermissions.
