About artsPlace

artsPlace is a vibrant, welcoming space where Bow Valley residents and visitors can gather to discover, explore, and celebrate arts and culture through a full range of classes, workshops, camps, live performances, films, exhibitions, and community events.

We take our role as a community arts centre to heart; helping artists of all ages and abilities uncover their creative potential, explore their passions, and share their talents with the people they care about.

Our black box theatre, artist studios, and gallery spaces are home to hundreds of creative minds, from local talent to industry-leading professionals working in a variety of mediums and disciplines. We’re proud to bring some of the world’s best performances to the Bow Valley, while at the same time, equipping emerging artists with the confidence, skills, and experience to go beyond.

No matter your age, background, abilities, or financial means, you belong here.

artsPlace is operated by the Canadian Mountain Arts Foundation, a registered charity, operating independently from the Town of Canmore.
