PROGRAMS IN THE SCHULMAN AUDITORIUM

The 215-seat Ruby G. Schulman Auditorium opened on September 25, 1999 as part of the larger Carlsbad City Library complex at Dove Lane and El Camino Real in the south of Carlsbad. The main entrance to the Auditorium is accessible from the complex's central courtyard. Over 2,000 people per day visit the complex, which in addition to the Library and Auditorium includes a 2,000-square-foot gallery, a multi-purpose meeting room, and a children's garden.

Programs for the Schulman Auditorium are scheduled in two different ways:

I. Programs presented by the public via rental of the facility

Groups or individuals may apply to rent the Schulman Auditorium for their program. To rent the Schulman Auditorium (or the Gowland Meeting Room), go to www.carlsbad-media.org or call (760) 602-2055 for an application packet.

II. Programs presented with the involvement of the City's Library or Arts staff

If an individual or group is looking for, or requests, some type of assistance or involvement from the City in order to present their program, they must submit a proposal to the Schulman Programming Committee (SPC) for consideration. The Guidelines for Submitting a Program Proposal, as well as the Artistic Vision Statement for Schulman Auditorium Programs, are included in the PDF available for downloading on this page.

Programs in this category may also be developed by staff proactively initiating proposals, some of which may include partnerships with outside groups or individuals.

Individuals or groups proposing a program designed as a "fundraiser" will be re-directed to Category I - rental of the facility.
