A Centre of Excellence and a Shared Space
Place des Arts is the working name of the future Arts Centre that a group of seven francophone organizations plan to build downtown in the next few years. It’s a gathering place for Francophones and for the whole community. It’s a dream that has been passed on, from one generation to the other, amongst Greater Sudbury’s many talented artists and cultural workers, and it’s now becoming a reality!
It’s the story of our community longing for a home for modern art & culture, where we gather to share all our colours and possibilities.
Help us realize the dream of generations.
