Renting the FAC
Procedure for Booking the Fine Arts Center
We are an academic facility and therefore must give preference to the Fine Arts Center’s departments, the UTC campus, and then the community, in that order with regards to booking times.
- Call the Fine Arts Center Office for availability at (423) 425-4371
- Request an Application (in person or by phone)
- Return Application with ticket information, insurance certificate, and tax exemption certificate (if applicable)
- You will be notified after your application passes the University’s approval process to come in and sign a rental contract. At this time a deposit maybe required depending on the event. You may not publicize your event until after the approval process is complete.
- Provide and/or meet with the Technical coordinator of the facility regarding details and requirements of your event.
- Two weeks prior to your event, we ask that you finalize all technical needs with the technical coordinator.
The process requires at least a month's notice for all non-campus activity. You may hold no more than two (2) activities per calendar year. Rates for the concert hall are as follows and are subject to change.
