About Artists' Collective of Aurora

Rent our event space for your next party or performance! Would your band like to play here and keep 100% of ticket sales by renting out the venue? We would love to host you! Or do you wanna throw a party and hire a band? We got you covered! Just tell us the genre of music you'd prefer and we'll hook you up with a live band for your next party. We have excellent relationships with musicians, full bands of all genres, DJs, bartenders, and caterers to make your next event or party memorable. Our rates are affordable while ensuring that everyone is paid fairly. If you'd prefer a percentage split of ticket sales arrangement, lets discuss! All of our connections set their own rates, and we pay them directly. Yoga instructors, licensed chair massage therapists, hair and makeup, health and beauty vendors are also available for-hire upon request. Our venue is a sober space until we get our liquor license (anticipated for late 2025). In the meantime, you are welcome to bring your own non-alcoholic beverages, or hire our awesome resident mocktail caterer. You are also welcome to cater food, bring your own, or order online from the many restaurants up and down our block. Centrally-located on the ground floor in beautiful downtown Aurora, our historic building is full of character and class. Once an old woolen mill, we now host yoga classes, swing dancing, jazz jams, open mics, poetry slams, and art shows on our gallery wall. We hope to be your go-to place to host your next party, event, or function! The space is versatile with seating for up to 50 people. Our yoga and meditation classes can fit about 30 yoga mats comfortably. We have tables, chairs, and booths to seat 30 in a cafe-style table setting, with room for 20 more to sit at folding tables with black, fitted table cloths. We welcome guests to cater their own food or hire their own vendors or food truck. The only thing that is non-negotiable is that you must use our bartender if you would like to have alcohol at your event. Aurora does not have a convenient "BYOB" option. They have very strict laws and we will follow them here. Our bartender is excellent and has invested in being at our location. We honor our agreements, and welcome guests who will respect our rules. If there are any special accommodations or wishes you might have, we are excited to fulfill them. For most events, we ask that you use our concierge service to enhance your event. They will ensure that your event runs smoothly from start to finish. if you have any questions, please send us a message!
