SUMMER 2024: BUILDING THE FUTURE OF ART HOUSE

‍

Art House is undertaking renovations to help us better serve our community! This project will allow us to expand and enhance our offerings, and strengthen the long term vision for the role Art House plays within the community.

‍

With help and support from people like you, we will be able to:

• Make Room for More: We’ll be able to welcome a greater number of visitors and showcase a greater number and diversity of performers. Be it thanks to larger gatherings and events, a larger performance area, or more workspace, we will be creating more room for connections and creativity to flourish.

• Improved Experience:‍ Greater flow in the space and a layout optimized for events will better both the day-to-day and event experience for visitors and artists alike.

• Increase Accessibility: Thanks to the addition of an accessible washroom, this project will contribute to our journey of becoming a more accessible space.

‍

The work will more specifically involve the renovation and addition of washrooms, opening up of the back rooms, and improvements to customer seating areas.

A section-by-section construction process will allow Art House to continue operating with the same seating capacity and full cafe & bar offerings throughout the renovation period.

‍We hope you’ll stop by for a visit and see how the work is progressing!
