Powered by a commitment to educate, enlighten and entertain, ArtsNorthridge and the Plaza del Sol Performance Hall has helped establish California State University, Northridge as a hub for culture and performing arts in the region. 

ArtsNorthridge believes that arts bring people together and introduce us not only to what is unique or different about ourselves, but also what we have in common - the humanity we all share.

Operating under the auspices of the university, the Plaza del Sol Performance Hall serves as a professional setting for students to learn and, through a commitment to life long learning through the arts, offers experiences to the community that enrich lives and establish a lifelong habit of participating in the arts.

The Plaza del Sol Performance Hall is a state-of-the-art 500-seat theatre conveniently located in the heart of the San Fernando Valley.  Completed in 1995, the Performance Hall is a beautiful, technically superior performance space, with a well-equipped backstage area, ample parking and easy access to adjacent campus facilities.

The Performance Hall is the ideal, affordable venue that accommodates large or small performing ensembles, concerts, dance recitals, meetings, conferences, film screenings, graduations, award ceremonies, recording sessions, film shoots and other special events. Let our professional staff help you create an event you and your audience will enjoy and remember.

Our Mission: 
To be a resource providing cultural, educational and artistic experiences
that enrich lives and promote lifelong learning
in and through the arts to the community we serve.

We will, as Goethe proposed,
promote those activities essential to human life:
entertainment, edification and exaltation of the human spirit.
