The facility includes a 350-seat theatre, three-story sky lit atrium, art gallery, gymnasium, meeting rooms and offices. The Kingsport Renaissance Center, formerly the John Sevier School, was renovated in 1991 and now stands as one of Kingsport's most prominent landmarks. The Kingsport Renaissance Center is an architect's masterpiece and stands as a constant reminder of Kingsport's history and as a reality of creative dreams. It is used frequently by the Kingsport Arts Council for various performances throughout the rolling year. The Kingsport Renaissance Center's diversity makes it unique and truly a model that sets renovation standards by which all others can be measured. Theatrical performances and concerts are scheduled in the 350-seat theatre throughout the year. The theatre is available for meetings and seminars and is an ideal facility for 200 people, with nearby breakout rooms, suitable for all day functions with or without meals.
