The Nancy & Ed Jackman Performance Centre opens on March 17 in Toronto, located in the basement of an affordable housing complex. This new venue aims to support artists and enhance community engagement in the city's cultural sector. The 6,500-square-foot facility is a collaboration between Tapestry Opera, Nightwood Theatre, and St. Clare’s Housing. It replaces performance spaces lost in 2022 and addresses the need for accessible venues for independent artists. The centre features a 200-capacity performance hall, rehearsal studio, and community programming. Its founders hope to foster a vibrant arts community and transform the surrounding area into a cultural hub.
