About

The Charlotte Street Arts Centre is a unique community of entrepreneurs in the arts, culture and wellness sectors, as well as provincial arts and culture organizations, and individual artists in a wide variety of disciplines (music, dance, new media, visual arts, etc). The Charlotte Street Arts Centre facility is a registered nonprofit charity. Our CRA charitable business number is 861454080RR0001.

The Charlotte Street Arts Centre officially opened for business as an arts facility in 2005, and in 2006 became part of the Local Historic Places Register (municipal). The Charlotte Street Arts Centre acquired Provincial Historic Site status in 2009.

In 2008, the Foyer, front staircases and landings on two floors of the CSAC were officially established as the Charlotte Glencross Gallery (in honour of founding member Charlotte Glencross who passed away October 2007). Regular exhibitions are featured in this space and have been since 2006. In 2009, as part of the City of Fredericton/ Canadian Heritage Cultural Capitals 2009 projects, we developed our backyard into a Culture Garden, featuring high caliber outdoor installation art.

Our administrative offices are located in the new accessibility wing of the building, and are open 9:30am until 1pm, Monday to Friday.

Notre Auditorium se vante d’acoustique supérieure, notre système d'éclairage de scène est ultramoderne et notre piano à queue Yamaha est le meilleur dans la ville pour un usage public. Notre bâtiment historique offre un cadre magnifique pour les événements allant de présentations théâtrales, conférences, mariages et bien plus encore. La Galerie de Glencross de Charlotte qui propose régulièrement des expositions est également dans le bâtiment. En 2009, nous avons développé notre arrière-cour dans un jardin de la Culture, mettant en vedette l’art de l’installation, à l'extérieur, de haut calibre.

Nos bureaux administratifs sont situés dans la nouvelle aile du bâtiment consacrée à l'accessibilité, et sont ouverts de 9h30 à 13h, du lundi au vendredi. Le centre est fermé au public en raison du COVID-19 - mais l'accès peut être accordé sur rendez-vous, aux invités des studios et des artistes ou si un événement a lieu dans l'auditorium Jim Myles.
