Venue Rentals
 

Located in downtown Kinston, the Community Council for the Arts is more than an arts center — it's also a distinctive venue for weddings, showers, reunions, birthdays, and corporate meetings. Our gallery space pairs high ceilings and exposed brick with plenty of natural light and a full kitchen, giving your event a setting that feels both polished and welcoming. It's a place with real character, where the surrounding artwork adds something you won't find in a standard event hall. Whether you're celebrating with friends or hosting a working meeting, we'd love to help make it memorable. Contact us to book your next event.

The Hampton Gallery

GUESTS: 175 - 200 

The Hampton Gallery pairs artistry with a striking sense of space, from its wooden raft-style ceilings to its rustic wood posts. Original artwork lines the walls, giving your occasion a backdrop you won't find anywhere else. The front desk area converts easily into a bar, and you'll also have a full kitchen and conference room on hand to keep things running smoothly. Your celebration at the Hampton Gallery will leave a lasting impression.​
