Beautiful space, amazing live performances and stunning pieces of artwork. A historic landmark of Cedar Rapids and the NewBo District.

Mac n cheese event was fun we put our votes in. I would recommend having a few highchairs and plates though the cups were kinda hard for the kids.

A comfortable and intimate art space. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Conveniently located in the NewBo district of Cedar Rapids, its easy to find.

A lovely historic venue which brings in an amazingly diverse selection of performers and visual artists. Come in for a show, or just to walk the galleries, either way it will be time well spent.

General admission is fine, so long as there are some seats left if you get there extra early. If there are only three to five rows of seats, if a whole row of them are reserved for the performers family, ushers (even granted they are volunteers) are supremely unhelpful and shut you down by being passive instead of helpful, and coat racks collapse on people, its not a good scene. The arist was great. Cheap food and drinks and interesting space though. I guess I should adjust my expectations given the price and non-profit. Im guess Im just spoiled by the Englert Theatre in Iowa City.Dont sell more tickets than you have space for. And provide sufficient seating and train your people.Good common seating with local art and a feed of the music.

The founders of CSPS had incredible vision and taste, setting CSPS up as both a venue that challenges local audiences and pulls them in with favorites. A historic building housing a stage, gallery, blackbox, conference center, CSPS is a regional treasure.

A must for great entertainment and art. They have the most interesting music in the area. Check out their calendar for music you may not be familiar with. But it is performed by artists you will be hearing about in years to come.

CSPS is a gorgeous place. They always have amazing exhibits with art from around the world. The music here is consistently good, Im especially impressed with how they bring in so much international talent. I only wish I knew more about events and artists in the venue.

Old theater/auditorium updated with a modern reception area and art exhibition spaces. Sound is passable (it wasnt designed as a concert venue) and the vibe is comfy.

Saw my first show there last night. Two points to make. 1. This is a hidden gem of a venue, I was super pleased. 2. If you were not there for Big Sams Funky Nation, shame on you!

The owner handle a situation so unprofessionally and totally inappropriately.I was shocked how we were treated and he did not care to listen to our side of the story and what we were told. The issue was with someone else and not us. I will not visit this place again. WOW!
