Project Artaud Theater

In 1925, the property that now houses Project Artaud was built as a tooling factory for the American Can Company. Over the years it served many purposes, including that of building airplane parts during WWII in the large space that would later become Theater Artaud.

The Theater was founded in 1972 by a group of artists as the performance center of Project Artaud. The Theater is strongly influenced by the philosophy of breaking down the physical, psychological, and cultural barriers of traditional theater.

Today, there are over 70 individual artists' live/work studios occupied by visual artists, sculptors, writers, photographers, print makers, performing artists of all disciplines, electronic media creators, as well as film/video makers.
