Arts & Entertainment   

Carbondale has long been known as a community with the glitz
and glamour of a big city because of the influence of the performing
arts associated with Southern Illinois University. Enjoy the magic of
the Southern Illinois Symphony performances at historic Shryock
Auditorium. Share the excitement of center stage with ten thousand
other people ... under the lights of the SIUC Arena ... or in the
intimate community theater setting of the Jackson County Stage
Company. Summer Playhouse, hosted by the SIUC Department of
Theater  in McLeod Theater, is always a crowd pleaser!

Our galleries showcase the work of many local artists. As you enjoy
hanging out with great things hanging on walls ... you'll notice that many of our gallery locations are in historic buildings and unique shopping districts. You are guaranteed a pleasant experience!
