Welcome to the Norris Cultural Arts Center

Since its founding in 1978, the Dellora A. Norris Cultural Arts Center has provided a world-class performance venue for the enjoyment of the residents of the Fox Valley and Northern Illinois.

The Norris, a generous gift to the Fox Valley from the Norris Foundation, includes an exceptional art exhibition gallery and a 1,000-seat theater with the stage area, acoustics, lighting and mechanicals to host the most elaborate performances.

With the continued support of a generous base of donors, benefactors and friends who care about bringing top-caliber talent to the Fox Valley, the Norris once again is offering a stellar lineup of exhibits and performances.  Please join us in supporting the performing and visual arts!
