The Ridgway Chautauqua Society owns and operates the Sherbino and the 610 Arts Collective. We actively produce programs in these spaces that serve our Mission. Because we are in the business of curating programs (over 150 public events a year and an additional 75 uses for rehearsals), we no longer rent to individuals or organizations who are running a public event. Public events are events that are publicized and/or open to the public, as opposed to members or invitees.

The Sherbino is available for private full and half day rentals, as well as non-profit meeting spaces. Please note: if you are representing a non-profit organization and would like to collaborate with the Sherbino to present a program, please contact our Director of Programming. We are very much open to partnered, balanced and mutually beneficial programs with organizations and individuals!
