The Prince Albert Arts Centre is one of the last of its kind on the prairies and a national historic landmark. The former Prince Albert Town Hall and Opera House was completed in 1893 and is now a thriving arts facility offering a wide variety of art, craft and creative opportunities for all members of our community.
The Arts Centre offers many programs for all ages and abilities. The building includes the John V. Hicks Gallery, Heritage Room, studio and board room.
To access virtual activities, please visit our PA Together at Home page where you will find several arts, recreation and fitness activities available online for all ages.
