Muskegon’s Frauenthal Center is going into its first full summer with a new open-air deck that includes a landscaped rooftop garden attached to its recently revamped Reception Gallery. The gallery venue recently underwent a $1 million renovation that wrapped in August and expanded the capacity to 300. “We knew adding a deck with a live roof overlooking Western Avenue would be a major selling point for this community gathering place,” says Heather Hansen, Frauenthal Center’s general manager.
Other venues for rent at the center include the historic Frauenthal Theater, with room for 1,725 attendees in theater seating and 150 for a reception or on-stage event. Additionally, it has a ballroom that can hold 275 guests; small community theater seating 169; and the lower-level Frau Lounge, accommodating up to 100.
