Place des Arts

Place des Arts is an arts education centre in Coquitlam offering instruction in visual arts, music, theatre, literary arts, and dance for all ages. The building contains multiple classrooms and studios along with three exhibition spaces and a shop that sells work from regional creators.

The centre was established in Maillardville, a neighbourhood founded by French-Canadian settlers in the early 1900s near Mackin Park. The building represents the cultural heritage of this French-speaking community and its emphasis on artistic expression and education.

This centre functions as a gathering place for creative expression in the Maillardville neighbourhood, where the community gathers to develop artistic skills across multiple disciplines. The spaces reflect the local commitment to making art accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.

The centre offers year-round education programs and seasonal camps suited to visitors of different ability levels. The spaces are easy to navigate, and the range of offerings allows you to find activities that match your interests and skill level.

The Summer Theatre Troupe program gives student actors the chance to perform in productions at a professional level and gain real stage experience. This hands-on opportunity shows how the centre teaches learners while also opening doors to actual artistic work.
