Place des Arts

Place des Arts

Place des Arts opened to the public in April 2022 and is the first multidisciplinary arts centre in Northeastern Ontario.  A focal point for Greater Sudbury, this multipurpose cultural centre is a contemporary arts and culture facility and the permanent home of seven francophone cultural organizations. Together, they expect to offer nearly 850 activities per year, aiming for 50,000 admissions annually.

A gathering place for the whole community, the four-storey building includes a performance hall, a multipurpose studio, a contemporary art gallery, a youth studio, a bistro with a seasonal sidewalk terrace, an early childhood artistic centre with an outdoor play area and office space. Public spaces and services are provided in French and English.

As one of the Large Projects adopted by Council in 2016, the City of Greater Sudbury contributed $5 million in capital funding and provided the land for the facility on a long-term lease. The City also provides an annual operating subsidy to Place des Arts, which is independently owned and operated.
