Living Arts Centre

About the venue

Living Arts Centre brings performing arts and creative activity into downtown Mississauga. Opened in 1997, the centre has become a gathering place for audiences and artists, with live performances forming part of its wider arts and culture programme. A visit connects the experience of a theatre performance with a purpose-built civic arts setting in the heart of the city.

The centre's value comes from bringing several aspects of creative life into one civic destination. Performances introduce audiences to artists on stage, while the wider arts programme gives the building a relationship with making, learning and participation. In that setting, a visit can feel connected to Mississauga's cultural life rather than simply a stop at a touring venue, with the city-centre location providing a shared meeting point for performers and visitors.
