The Schauer Arts Center is a nonprofit regional venue for performing and visual arts based in Hartford, Wisconsin. It originated from a 1919 canning factory and opened as an arts center in 2001, reflecting a conversion that preserves industrial character while adding public-facing spaces. The facility hosts professional touring performances in the Ruth A. Knoll Theater and showcases regional artwork in the Suckow Family Art Gallery, while serving as home to several local arts groups. It operates as a venue for both public, ticketed events and private, non-ticketed events, with accessible facilities and free parking, and easy Interstate access from I-43. The design blends industrial elements with modern performance space, featuring high ceilings and ample natural light, and it sits in downtown Hartford adjacent to the Wisconsin Auto Museum. The center is a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit with a regional focus, serving Washington County.
