2. The Art Gallery Hall is ideal for exhibitions, smaller performances, and workshops. It offers flexibility in space usage but is not well-suited for larger events or performances requiring a stage.
3. Riverfront Conference Center excels in hosting conferences, panel discussions, and networking events. It is a top choice for events focused on intellectual exchange, though it is less suitable for performances.
4. Greenfield Park Amphitheater offers a unique outdoor venue for large performances, festivals, and other high-capacity events. Its main limitation is its weather dependency and lack of indoor facilities for workshops or smaller events.

For the main performances and theatrical events, The Grand Theater should be prioritized for its equipment and large capacity. For art exhibitions and smaller performances, The Art Gallery Hall is the best option. If the festival includes conferences or panels, then Riverfront Conference Center is the most suitable.
