  • Back Wall Painting — A fresh coat of paint has been applied to the back wall, giving the theatre a revitalized look.
  • State-of-the-Art Sound System — We've installed all-new sound systems inside the theatre, ensuring the best possible auditory experience for our audiences.

Upcoming Enhancements for Summer's End

By the end of this summer, we aim to complete the following upgrades:

  • Soft Furnishings — New curtains and other soft furnishings will be installed to enhance the acoustics and ambiance, providing a better overall experience.
  • Cushy Chairs — New, cushy chairs will replace the old ones, offering our patrons unparalleled comfort.
  • Lobby Lighting — Upgraded lighting in our lobby will create a welcoming and vibrant entrance, enhancing the overall atmosphere.

Jan 27, 2014Venue Redevelopment

We have been exploring the possible redevelopment and rebuilding of the Arts Centre. It's a really exciting time, and we'd like you to share in the excitement!

We acknowledge we are gathered on Treaty 1 Territory, the home and traditional lands of Anishinaabe (Ojibwe), Ininew (Cree), and Dakota peoples, and in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We also acknowledge that Manitoba is located on the Treaty Territories and ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline and Nehethowuk Nations.

We respect the spirit and intent of Treaties and Treaty Making and remain committed to working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in the spirit of truth, reconciliation and collaboration.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.

Acknowledging this truth is important to the Gas Station Arts Centre, yet we acknowledge that it is only a small part of cultivating and protecting strong relationships with Indigenous communities. We continue to consult and work with all Indigenous people of Canada to learn, grow, and do better as a community gathering site, and as an incubator for the Arts.
