Le Centre des arts de Stanstead provides free and affordable quality artistic and cultural programming to the historically-rich community of Stanstead and its surrounding area.

Since 2010, Le Centre des arts de Stanstead has become a dynamic bilingual platform for performing arts in the region. From theatrical productions and concerts at the historic Haskell Opera House to outdoor performances at the iconic Stanstead Stone Circle, the Centre offers unforgettable cultural experiences in unique and inspiring venues.

Complementing its performance programming is the Vieux Forgeron Art Gallery—a seasonal summer gallery housed in a restored blacksmith shop overlooking the Tomifobia River. Each year, it showcases the work of talented artists from the Eastern Townships and across Quebec, celebrating the richness and diversity of contemporary visual arts.
