Schrott Center for the Arts

A 475-seat hall on the Butler campus, and the middle room in the university’s three-venue ladder — bigger than Shelton, a fraction of Clowes, and built for artists who want to be heard rather than amplified at.

What to Expect

Seated, modern, and sized so that a solo performer does not have to fill a barn. It sits within the Butler Arts & Events Center alongside Clowes Memorial Hall and Shelton Auditorium, so check the room name on your ticket rather than just the campus.

Parking is on campus and generally straightforward, which is not true of every seated room in this city.
