Facility Rentals at the Bank of the Arts

The Bank of the Arts is a historic building in the heart of the charming waterfront town of New Bern, North Carolina.  Originally commissioned as a bank, it now serves as the seat of arts and culture in a thriving artistic community. The impressive pillars lend a grand, classical air to any occasion, as do the lofty ceilings and bespoke skylight.  Guests can mingle through renovated vaults and take in stunning art exhibits as they enjoy your event.

For $600, you can rent the Bank of the Arts for four hours. Each additional hour is $50 an hour.
A $100 deposit is required to hold the date.
A $250 cleaning deposit is also required, but will be returned to the renter(s) if no additional cleaning needs to be done or excessive damage is done to the building.


Call 252-638-2577 / email [email protected] for more information.
