Conexus Arts Centre, Performing arts center in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
Conexus Arts Centre is a performing arts venue in Regina, Saskatchewan, with a main hall spread across several levels that seats around 2,000 people. The stage is equipped with hydraulic mechanics that allow it to be raised or lowered depending on whether the production is orchestral or theatrical.
The building opened in 1970, though the original plans were drawn up as part of Canada's centennial celebrations in 1967. Construction took longer than expected and required several design adjustments along the way.
The venue has been the main stage for orchestral and classical music in Regina for decades. Attending a show here gives a sense of how deeply rooted live performance is in the city's everyday life.
The centre is in the downtown core of Regina and easy to reach on foot from the city center. It is worth arriving early since the hall is spread across multiple levels and finding your seat can take a few minutes.
The building's exterior uses brick from Estevan, Saskatchewan, alongside Tyndall stone from Manitoba, two materials sourced from places far apart from each other. This makes the facade one of the few examples in the region where building materials were deliberately chosen to represent different parts of the country.
