About Arts Place

Arts Place operates two vibrant venues in Indiana: the Jay County Campus in Portland (the Hall-Moser Theatre at 131 East Walnut Street, Portland, IN 47371) and the Blackford County Arts Center in Hartford City (107 West Washington Street, Hartford City, IN 47348). Since 2021, the Portland center has been known as the Jay County Campus of Arts Place. While Arts Place closed its St. Marys Auglaize/Mercer Center in 2024, the remaining campuses continue to host a wide range of performances, exhibitions, and arts education opportunities. Whether you’re catching the Eric R. Rogers Performing Arts Series in Portland or enjoying local theatre at the Hartford City venue, you’ll find accessible seating, convenient parking, and a thoughtful slate of nearby dining and lodging options. We’ve got you covered with straightforward, reliable ticket access and local tips to help you plan your visit.

Seating and accessibility: The Hall-Moser Theatre in Jay County Campus seats 283 attendees and offers a comfortable viewing experience for a variety of performing arts events.

When you secure your tickets, you’ll see current seating details (including any ADA accommodations) for the event. Secure your seats early for popular shows from the Eric R. Rogers Performing Arts Series and Jay County Civic Theatre productions.
