Book Event Space

Artscape is currently taking bookings for September 2012 onward for use of performance and event spaces at the Regent Park Arts & Cultural Centre. This 60,000 sq. ft. purpose-built facility is poised to become the artistic, cultural and social core of the Regent Park and the newest addition to downtown Toronto’s thriving cultural landscape.

The Regent Park Arts & Cultural Centre has four street-level performance and event spaces suited to a diversity of disciplines and uses.

Imagine…

• World-class dance performances, community film festivals, conferences and speaker series in the Performance/Event Space
• Open-air concerts and plays in the Outdoor Performance Court
• Poetry slams and private parties in The Café
• Exhibitions and fundraisers in the South Lobby
• And more!

Designed by the award-winning Diamond & Schmitt Architects, the Regent Park Arts & Cultural Centre is located on Dundas Street, just east of Parliament St., in the heart of the Regent Park Revitalization. With approximately 17,000 new and returning community members, new parks, pedestrian-friendly mews and over 40,000 sq. ft. of new retail space, Regent Park will soon emerge as a new hotbed of cultural activity in Toronto.

The 6,000 sq. ft. Performance/Event Space will be fully-equipped and supported by an A/V booth, kitchen, green room and dressing rooms. The space can also be partitioned into three distinct smaller spaces to accommodate smaller events. The Artscape Lounge, Main Lobby and Outdoor Performance Court and can be used as independent programming spaces or as spillover space for events inside the Performance/Event Space.
