Shenkman Arts Centre

The Shenkman Arts Centre is a dynamic creative hub, and a community focal point where artists and audiences of all ages gather to create and explore the arts. It will provide a forum for a myriad of activities under one roof in both English and French. The Centre will make a profound impact on the cultural life of the city. It will play a vital role in ensuring artists are given the forum they need to nurture creativity and audiences are given access to dynamic and thought-provoking arts programming in a facility that matches creative excellence.

Imagine a dynamic centre in which a visual artist has access to the latest equipment and technology in specialized studios; a budding artist can learn pottery, painting or dance; a local theatre group is holding rehearsals for its next play; a school group is enjoying an interactive exhibit in the gallery; and community members are listening to the inspiring music of a chamber orchestra.
