The English Harbour Arts Centre was founded in 2003 by interested residents of English Harbour who wanted to save a lovely old structure by turning it into something that may be culturally interesting and economically viable. The Arts Centre offers numerous weekly workshops and cultural events throughout the summer. For adults and children; for new artists and seasoned professionals; for folks living in Trinity Bight, for summer residents, or folks just passing through on holiday - there is something for everyone.
