The Calvin Kruk Centre for the Arts is no longer just a dream, but is quickly becoming a reality.

The Calvin Kruk Centre for the Arts will be housed in the historic post office building in downtown Dawson Creek.The 42,000 sq.ft. heritage building will be converted into a community and cultural centre and will feature the Kiwanis Performing Arts Centre, a multi-purpose theatre space, meeting rooms, dance and textile studios and administrative offices.

The vision of former Mayor Calvin Kruk, the new arts centre is a legacy that is more than just his namesake. It is also a tribute to his commitment to the arts and the environment. The new facility will provide a much needed home for the performing and visual arts, bringing higher profile to each. As well, reusing the former Federal building and retrofitting it with state-of-the-art technology will minimize the centre’s environmental footprint.
