For private bookings in Downtown, Rialto Center for the Arts at Georgia State University offers the established infrastructure of a performing arts theater. The venue includes an 833-seat performing arts theater in Downtown Atlanta with a full professional stage. Sound, lighting and projection systems support concerts, dance, film and presentations. The lobby can be used as a separate reception or event area. Green room and dressing facilities support performers and speakers.

Together, natural light and high ceilings give the venue additional visual and functional range.

The strongest event formats at Rialto Center for the Arts at Georgia State University build on what the property already does well: performances, rehearsals, screenings and presentations fit the venue naturally, while private events can use the audience spaces and production infrastructure already in place. Parking at the property makes access more straightforward for both attendees and event staff. The layout gives a private group enough structure to separate the main activity from conversation, food service or preparation areas. Practical support includes furnished seating, accessible guest areas, elevator access, on-site parking and a preparation room, which can reduce day-of setup friction. Amplified sound is compatible with the venue's normal event or performance identity, so music, announcements and programmed entertainment can be part of a booking. The venue's design can contribute to photography and video as well as the live event, reducing the need to create every backdrop from scratch. A public or ticketed-use component is also compatible with the way the property normally operates, which broadens its usefulness for audience-based programs.
