An announcement from the Place des Arts

No fooling: Place des Arts will open its doors in April!

Greater Sudbury’s Place des Arts will officially open its doors on April 29, 2022. This is what its Chairperson, Alain Richard, revealed after drawing up an assessment of the work to be completed before the site can welcome its first visitors in complete safety. “The pandemic caused a shortage of labour on the site,” he explained. “Then, a shortage of certain materials and recent roadblocks at the Canada-U.S. border made it difficult to receive what we needed to complete the work early. Now that the situation has improved, we will be able to receive artists and patrons shortly.”

As we await the final touches to this wonderful dream come true, here is a sneak peek of the last steps of the construction to inspire you.
