The City of Oshawa has engaged Nordicity, in partnership with architecture and heritage consulting firm Giaimo, to conduct a study to determine the possibility of transforming the Arts Resource Centre (A.R.C.), at 45 Queen Street, into a Cultural Hub.

What is a Cultural Hub? There is no single definition, but a basic starting point (adapted from the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund) would be a physical space where people gather collectively to experience arts or heritage related activities and/or a facility which brings together and supports professionals from arts or heritage sectors and creative disciplines.

To ensure this process is meaningful and inclusive, we are seeking input from:

1. Oshawa’s residents
2. Practicing artists
3. Culture and creative sector workers, organizations and other facilities.

Community members are invited to complete the online feedback form or on paper at Service Oshawa, located at City Hall (50 Centre St. S.). The feedback form will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, and will be open until noon on Monday, April 25, 2022. All individual responses will be anonymous and will only be used to summarize overall feedback.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
