Just as The ACT Arts Centre was celebrating its most successful seasons to date, the theatre lights went dark.
When the Maple Ridge facility temporarily closed its doors in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, all the community’s engaging performing arts presentations, thought-provoking art gallery exhibitions, community arts learning programs, and critical community space usage ended abruptly.
Open since 2003, the Arts Centre is typically host to more than 80,000 visitors each year. Thousands of patrons each year enjoy up to 50 performances of music, dance, live theatre, comedy, family and variety shows in the 486-seat Mainstage theatre and smaller Studio Theatre. Thousands more attend the six to seven varied art gallery exhibitions. Dozens of arts learning programs feed the community’s creative needs and skills. Local community groups used the facility’s spaces and dozens of rental groups provided additional resource opportunities.
How you can help build the bridge to the future
Currently celebrating it’s 50th Anniversary, The Arts Council and its allies have been working tirelessly to bridge the opportunity and funding gap so that its programming can support ever-growing community needs by emerging as strong as before.
The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council looks forward to enabling future arts programming and kick starting its more self-supportive revenue streams, putting much needed arts resources back into an anticipating community. Thank you for your love of the arts!
