The Crescent Arts Centre was officially formed early in 2017. Originally the activity was conducted by Crescent Fort Rouge United Church itself. But as with all great ideas, it has taken on its own life and has launched independently. It maintains the ethos of providing affordable and welcoming space to the arts and supporting both emerging and professional artists across a number of disciplines.
CAC's mandate is to create an inclusive community hub that provides an essential home for the gatherings that feed our souls.
The Crescent Arts Centre was launched to advance the use of a century old church for the arts. CAC is known for its excellence as a performance venue with acoustics which are known widely to be exceptional. In recent years, the use of the building began to increase as it fills the need for a concert venue of this size. It has additional space which has become a welcoming rehearsal hall for a number of theatre companies and choirs. The vision is to keep enhancing the use of the building for the use of the arts community.
The Crescent Arts Centre has attracted great partnerships with other arts organizations. We welcome new and emerging ideas and wish to support innovation.

We acknowledge and respect that we are on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, and Dakota nations, and the homeland of the Metis people. Long before adventurers, colonizers, settlers, refugees, or immigrants from other lands came to this territory, the people of Canada’s first nations held this land as a sacred trust from the Creator. We acknowledge this stewardship of the land, and our treaty commitment to ensure that we work together to provide a sacred place of welcome for all.
