A thriving arts and culture community

STAR STAFF — If you appreciate the arts, either as a patron or a practitioner, Orléans has much to offer for residents of all ages starting with the Shenkman Arts Centre.

Opened in 2009, the Shenkman Arts Centre is the cultural hub of Orléans offering programming in both French and English.

The Mouvement Implication de Francophones d’Orléans (MIFO) brings some of the best-known francophone acts in Canada to the Arts Centre every year with a variety of musical genres, comedy and dramatic performances.

The Shenkman Arts Centre is also home to the Ottawa School of Theatre, the Ottawa School of Art, the Gloucester Pottery School and four different galleries.
