About us
Place des Arts is a gathering place for Francophones and for the whole community.
Place des Arts is a project by the the Regroupement des organismes culturels de Sudbury (ROCS). Founded in 2007, the ROCS is a coalition bringing together the seven professional francophone arts organizations from Greater Sudbury that work in the arts, culture and heritage sector.
The 2008 Summit of La Francophonie of Greater Sudbury identified the creation of a unifying cultural hub as a priority. It is in this context that the ROCS undertook the development of the Place des Arts project.
