St. Norbert Arts Centre
Spirit + Nature + Arts + Culture
The St. Norbert Arts Centre (SNAC) has an active community role promoting its core values of diversity, equality and harmony. The Centre provides an opportunity to expand dialogue between the arts and other realms of social expression. SNAC’s collaborations between all players is an integral community-building goal.
The St. Norbert Arts Centre arose from a devastating fire at the Trappist Monastery in 1983. The carriage house remained intact and became a thriving centre for the arts in the aftermath. Through donations and community support, SNAC houses working artists and other tenants in the top two floors of the centre while a gallery on the main floor awaits art exhibitions, wedding celebrations and more. The administrative offices and a small shop are also located on the main floor. SNAC is bordered by the LaSalle River and surrounded by a natural forest. Today the grounds are enjoyed by the public who can visit the gallery, walk the grounds, host a event or wedding. Before you leave, make sure you check out our numerous on-site installations such as a statue of Buddha, the Pagoda, Solar Greenhouse and more. SNAC has endured a short respite from the art scene but now is currently undergoing a rejuvenation of programming, events and beautification activities. Once again, St. Norbert Art Centre calls to everyone to come and experience all it has to offer.

Coloured bars representing Earth, Spirit, Culture and Arts bring a fresh new look to the organization encapsulating all that SNAC was, is, and strives to become in the future.
