Prince Albert Arts Centre, National historic arts center in Prince Albert, Canada

The Prince Albert Arts Centre is housed in a Victorian-style building with Italian architectural details and a prominent clock tower located at 1010 Central Avenue. Inside, the facility contains art galleries, pottery studios, dance studios with mirrors, meeting rooms, and workshop areas for various creative activities.

The building was constructed in 1893 as Prince Albert's city hall and opera house. It later received designation as a national historic site in recognition of its architectural importance to Canada's cultural heritage.

The building is run as the Margo Fournier Arts Centre, hosting arts guilds, a community pottery studio and the John V. Hicks Gallery, where exhibitions of local and regional art are coordinated by the Prince Albert Council for the Arts. From 1911 to 1937 the upstairs rooms also held the Prince Albert Public Library.

The centre operates at 1010 Central Ave. in Prince Albert, in the building of the former city hall. Its rooms serve arts guilds, a community pottery studio and the John V. Hicks Gallery, so opening depends on the activities scheduled there. Check with the Prince Albert Council for the Arts before visiting to see the galleries.

The 1893 building was erected by A. and W.B. Goodfellow Builders and combined a clock tower, an opera house and a meeting room under one roof. From 1911 to 1937 the upstairs rooms housed the Prince Albert Public Library, so residents borrowed books in the same building where council met.
