Introducing...Central Oregon's New Event Venue OPEN SPACE EVENT STUDIO
It may sound crazy in times like these, there is now an awesome, much needed event venue space opening up in the heart of Bend. The building that once housed Central Oregon's beloved 2nd Street Theater is now a newly renovated Open Space Event Studios. The space will still serve the theater and performing arts community, it has been designed to broadly serve the needs of film/photography production, business events, educational workshops and community gatherings. True to its name and central to its mission, Open Space offers a beautiful space for arts, culture, and business communities of Bend. Open Space has three studios to meet various needs. The highlight of this venue is a 1500 sq. ft. theater room with an adjacent enclosed outdoor patio. It's equipped with a stage, lighting, projection and kitchenette. Accompanying a larger room is a spacious 350 sq ft. meeting room that can be joined or separated from the rest of the venue. A third smaller studio is outfitted as a permanent photography studio and video podcast production set. The entire venue is furnished with a high quality AV system, each studio has a presentation screen. The aesthetic of the space is contemporary and minimal while accentuating the industrial roots of the building. Dynamic lighting and natural light come through glass garage doors giving the space an expansive feeling.
