Grand Falls-Windsor Arts and Culture Centre

GORDON PINSENT CENTRE FOR THE ARTS

Welcome to the GORDON PINSENT CENTRE FOR THE ARTS

"It is fitting that during this year of celebration and on the occasion of his 75th birthday, that government rename the Grand Falls-Windsor Arts and Culture Centre in honour of a native son of Grand Falls for his contribution to the arts across the country. Gordon Pinsent is one of the country's most respected artists and perhaps the best known Newfoundland and Labrador actor in Canada and is undoubtably an appropriate and deserving recipient of the honour of having a cultural institution in his name. The newly named Gordon Pinsent Centre for the Arts is a tribute to Mr. Pinsent that will recognize and celebrate his career and accomplishments in the town in which he was born."

A division of the Department of Tourism, Culture and Recreation, the head offices of the Arts and Culture Centres are located in the St. John's Arts and Culture Centre. Committed to excellence and presenting the best to patrons, the Arts and Culture Centres offer a wide variety of programming from the best that Newfoundland has to offer to diverse artists from across Canada and abroad.

The Gordon Pinsent Centre for the Arts was opened in July 1971 and houses a 400 seat proscenium theatre, public library and an art exhibition area.
