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. 

Ready for the next steps?

From immersive theatrical experiences to intimate acoustic concerts to art show exhibitions or comedy nights, The Sanctuary Arts Centre is the perfect place to take your artistry to the next level!
