The Venue
The Patterson-Appleton Arts Center is truly the arts engine of Denton. Built in 1929 and located between Denton’s Downtown Square and emerging innovation district, this historic building was originally the city’s steam power plant. Renovated in the 1980s, the Arts Center now offers two large galleries, art studio, dance rehearsal hall, and sculpture garden. The centerpiece of the venue is Festival Hall, a 5,000 square foot event and exhibition space with soaring ceilings and original industrial hardware. Each year, the Council presents over 20 exhibitions and welcomes over 15,000 students. In addition, the Center serves as an event and meeting space for the arts community.
