The Ned R. McWherter West Tennessee Cultural Arts Center
Located in our historic downtown area, “The Ned” (officially known as the Ned R. McWherter West Tennessee Cultural Arts Center), serves as Jackson, Tennessee’s premiere performance space.
The Ned provides West Tennessee with a performance space that is both intimate and high-tech. Our 2,200-square-foot, 420-seat theater features an advanced pulley system, special lighting, a superior sound system, and perfect acoustics. This space is ideal for a diverse array of stage productions and will highlight the talents of any performer.
Additionally, our Cultural Center contains two art galleries that can be used for traveling and local exhibits. Our stylish gallery space and meeting rooms are available for receptions, weddings, seminars, dinners, or other formal occasions.
Our facilities, including restrooms and dressing rooms, are up-to-date and in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Adjacent off-street parking is available all around the Ned.
