Clark Center Performing Arts Association

A hidden gem in South County, The Clark Center is like a scaled down version of the PAC. I've seen amazing shows here by Poco, Emmylou Harris, Cobie Callet and The Dark Star Orchestra, just to name a few . The acoustics are first rate.

The problem is the 2011 season of shows was a steaming pile. When the highlight of the season is Charo and a Bee Gees cover band, it's time to re-evaluate booking. This was the first year that we skipped shows.

Still... this review is for the venue and with that, The Clark Center gets 5 stars.

The Clark Center is a beautiful facility for any venue. It has a charm all its own and every seat in the building has great views of the stage.
I attended the show this weekend America the Beautiful with the Central Coast Follies and it was excellent. My family  from Southern California who attended the show were impressed with the intimacy of the theater and its professional design.
All the staff and volunteers were so friendly and welcoming.
Thank You.....You made me proud!

The Clark Center is amazing. To think that a small town like Arroyo Grande could have a facility of this caliber is a dream come true. I have seen many wonderful performers here, from Big Band to Juggling Acts. Check their coming events and get in there to see something. It is fabulous to see big names show up at little old Arroyo Grande! -
