There's no mistaking the 100+ years of history behind this building.

From its bold stone face to its peaked roof (which, fun fact, is actually shaped like a crucifix from above) the Arts Centre is an unmissable landmark, centrally located in Downtown Dartmouth. This 100+-year-old building has been upgraded for accessibility and inclusion to facilitate and inspire unforgettable creativity and performance.
