Dutch term or phrase: cultureel centrum
Denk aan een ruimte waar vanalles van avond tot avond op een podium gebeurt, 300 tot 2000 stoelen… zonder een stadstheater, een toneelzaal, een concertgebouw te zijn. Letterlijk vertalen werkt niet volgens mij; Amerikanen spreken van “performing art centers”, maar die zijn veel groter.

Explanation:
The literal translation is quite OK to my mind. 'Culture Centre' is a variation but with Googling 'cultural centre', more come up for 'culture centre'.

'Performing arts centre' is possible more accurate and I don't think it depends on the audience capacity.
