The CU Art Theater is now under the management of local Sanford Hess. His mission to deliver quality movies in a superior atmosphere is unmatched. The Art is now the only theater in town that serves beer, wine and liquor. Additionally they serve the best treats from fellow Downtown business Pekara Bakery, hot pretzels from Chicago based Kim & Scott’s, and gourmet teas, coffees and vitamin water.
A message from the owner:
We recognize that you have choices for movies: lots of multiplex screens or even staying home with a projection TV. We can’t beat them on variety, but we focus on customer service and providing the C-U area’s best movie-going experience.
We’re movie lovers too, and we know that nothing replaces the excitement of waiting for the lights to go down and the show to start. Come visit us and see some of the ways we’re making the movie experience different, and better.
Our mission statement: To be the true independent theater for movie lovers.
126 West Church Street

I recently visited this art theatre, and i must say its very good place to visit for a mid-week evening out with friends, or something like that. I can’t remember what i saw, but we had a great time. I try to go to the Theatre regularly and think others should atleast try places like this once and see if they like it!
