The Arts Resource Centre (ARC) at 45 Queen St is just a 10-minute walk from 100 Bond residence. It is a City of Oshawa–founded arts organization that serves as an arts school for kids and adults, a working theatre, a workshop organizer, and a host of various art festivals.
The Arts Resource Centre’s list of activities is quite long. The centre offers everything related to art, culture, awareness, and self-development. The learning and practicing classes for kids and adults include art, music, dance, and more. The centre is also famous for its pottery class with professional kilns and wheels.
Another important focus of the Arts Resource Centre is drama. Both adults and kids can practice improvisation and full-scale theatre acting at their ARC Theatre.
The Arts Resource Centre often hosts art festivals by the Oshawa Art Association. Other interesting workshops and community gatherings also take place almost every day, so finding the right class or workshop is very easy.
It is a place where art lives in its purest form. It can bring a love of various art forms to both kids and adults, or serve as a community hub for gatherings. Either way, it is an incomparable landmark and a modern cultural hub of Oshawa worth visiting.
