St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts

2022

The St. Lawrence Center for the Arts is a renewal of the former STLC site which is located in the heart of downtown Toronto, next to Union Station. This transformational project will breathe new life into the St. Lawrence neighbourhood through the creation of two fully accessible state-of-the-art performance spaces, and a generous addition of free public realm, both indoors and out, including a public plaza adjoining Berczy Park. Inspired by the role of Wampum Belt, a symbol of unified strength, the belt inspiration is symbolic of the STLC aspirations to become a quintessential Toronto cultural destination that brings people together.
