The North Iowa Community Auditorium, which first opened its doors on October 6, 1979, seats over 1150 patrons. It was made possible through the generosity of the Kinney-Lindstrom Foundation and Will F. Muse Memorial as well as countless businesses, organizations, governmental units and individuals.

The Auditorium is the setting for presentations by national and world leaders through the NIACC Leadership Series and award-winning productions and entertainment as part of the NIACC Performing Arts Series, as well as countless events hosted each year by local community organizations.

The Auditorium Gallery features rotating exhibitions by local and national artists. Featured artists hold Artist Talks where students and the public get the chance to listen to the artist talk about their work and answer questions from the audience.
