National Arts Centre (NAC)

The National Arts Centre raised its curtains for the first time in 1969. Created by the Parliament of Canada as a Centennial project during the 1960s, the NAC has become Canada's foremost showcase for the performing arts.

Today, the NAC works with countless artists, both emerging and established, from across Canada and around the world, and collaborates with numerous other arts organizations across the country.

The NAC is strongly committed to being a leader and innovator in each of the performing arts fields in which it works: classical music, English theatre, French theatre, dance, variety, and community programming. It is at the forefront of youth and educational activities by supporting programs for young audiences and young and emerging artists, and producing resources and study materials for teachers.

The NAC is the only multidisciplinary, bilingual performing arts centre in North America, and one of the largest in the world.
