About The Studio Loft at The Ellie

The Studio Loft sits atop The Ellie Caulkins Opera House, part of the Denver Performing Arts Complex (DPAC). This 8,000 sq ft space offers a flexible layout perfect for performances, rehearsals, receptions, and intimate cultural events sponsored by Denver Arts & Venues. With a private entrance on 14th Street and Champa, The Studio Loft provides a discreet, easily accessible setting for guests and performers alike. While the layout is adaptable—there is no fixed seating chart—the venue can host theater-style events for up to 320 guests, receptions for up to 400, and banquets for up to 250. Whether you’re planning a press event, a networking mixer, or a private performance, The Studio Loft is designed to fit your needs.

Located in downtown Denver, The Studio Loft benefits from convenient parking, transit options, and nearby lodging and dining that cater to attendees and hosts. The space is part of a historic renaming in The Ellie’s timeline (formerly Auditorium Theater until 2002; Quigg Newton Municipal Auditorium 2002–2005) and continues to serve as a vibrant cultural hub in the DPAC complex.
