La Place des Arts du Grand Sudbury (PdA) was recently honoured with a 2023 Global Future Design Awards’ gold winner for cultural architecture.

The centre of artistic and cultural excellence and a gathering place for Francophones and for the whole community is also celebrating its one-year anniversary serving as morthern Ontario’s first multidisciplinary art centre focused on French-Canadian culture.

The three-storey, 40,000-square-foot building’s varying heights, angular projections and accessible terraces bridge the natural and built environments, reaching beyond its interior boundaries and engaging with the community.
