About this venue

Situated by Ohio University, the bustling uptown, and options for lodging, the Dairy Barn Arts Center is one of Athens most unique and historic venues. The Barn offers three distinct spaces and surrounding grounds (an herb garden, walking trails, and on-site parking). Clean, bright, and modern, the Barn allows guests to make the space their own.


Our event spaces

The Dairy Barn Arts Center

The Dairy Barn Arts Center has four spaces for events rentals of all different capacities and sizes!

• The Sauber Gallery has over 5,000 square feet of exhibition or event space and can accommodate as many as 250 people with room for dining and dancing. • The AEP Performing Arts Center wing of the Barn has about 2,100 square feet that can comfortably accommodate as many as 150 guests for an event. This space can even separate into two smaller rooms to suit your needs. The AEP Wing acts as our main wedding reception room, but is also perfect for parties, meetings and performances. • The Grounds: The Dairy Barn is nestled into the surrounding hills to boast an absolutely beautiful landscape. Just minutes from uptown, but with a country feel, The Barn has large front and back lawn spaces perfect for an event tent. The Grounds also provide beautiful spots for outside wedding ceremonies. • Community Room and Patio: Our newest rental spaces- each can fit up to 50 people. These spaces are on the first level of The Barn and are great for smaller events such as baby showers and birthday parties!
