Introducing the Wright Opera House Community Room
The Wright Opera House Community Room is a 1,000-square foot multi-purpose room in the south bay of our basement level, located at the rear of 472 Main Street, Ouray. The vision for this Community Space is to bolster the Wright Opera House’s programming and community-minded mission by providing a venue for art classes, dance classes, meetings, exercise, and more. The Wright was able to complete this project with support from Susan & James Opdahl, and a grant from the Community Foundation of the Gunnison Valley.
The Community Room features a small kitchenette with mini-refrigerator, sink, dishwasher and bar height counter. A single, gender neutral restroom is available inside the room. Wireless internet is available in the space, as well as wall mirrors and a seating area.
Interested in hosting your class in the Community Room?
It is free and available for local use, with ADA access available from the rear of the 472 Main Street building. A private parking lot is also available directly in front of the Community Room. Users will need to sign a simple waiver and release form, and will receive a unique access code for entry at their designated date and time. Email
