Artscape YOUNGplace (formerly Artscape Shaw Street Centre) will repurpose the historic Shaw Street School into a dynamic community gathering place.
It will house a diverse mix of creators working in a variety of disciplines, as well as arts, community and social mission organizations.
Once complete in 2013, Artscape YOUNGplace will offer a theatre training facility, a centre for dance and performance, papermaking skills programs, community-based multi-media workshops, arts training for youth, music education for amateurs and professionals, family resources to support the local community, openings, performances, exhibitions and events.
Located at 180 Shaw Street, the building lies in the heart of the West Queen West alternative arts district, just steps from Trinity-Bellwoods Park and close to The Gladstone Hotel, Drake Hotel, MoCCA, The Theatre Centre and the largest concentration of art galleries in Toronto.
