The Francophone arts centre is the home, and dream, of its seven founding organizations
After more than a decade of planning, fundraising and a little something called the pandemic, Place des arts greeted its first visitors in April of this year, and since that moment, has hosted shows, festivals and so much more .
The co-founders came together to find a place that could serve as the heart of the francophone arts community in Sudbury, as well as a place for collaboration with the Anglophone arts community. And since opening, not only has it hosted shows from local musicians and national stars, but also festivals like Up Here, Culture Matrix, the inaugural Black Lives Matter Black arts festival, and the return of Jazz Sudbury.
This year was also the debut of the new executive director, Jean-Gilles Pelletier, who took over for Léo Therrien on April 25, just ahead of the grand opening.
