Completed in 1996, the Soleri Amphitheater was funded by the Evening Student Government with additional backing coming from the Fine Arts Commission. Recently GCC allocated funds to update the infrastructure and improve the landscaping and hardscaping in and around the venue.
The Soleri Amphitheater is located on the northwest corner of the Glendale Community College main campus, next to the GCC football stadium. The GCC campus is located at 59th Avenue and Olive. Ample parking is located immediately to the north and the east of the amphitheater.
