Arts and Culture

There is a community art wall at the Welland Community Centre to promote local artists. Artists can submit an application to display and sell their artwork at no charge. We will create and display a biography of the artist for the duration of the display.

Please submit the Welland Community Centre Art Wall Application, which can be found under resources.

The Canalside Players have produced 10 plays including their most recent ‘Five Alarm’ by Kristen Da Silva. They focus mainly on Canadian playwrights and content in the genre of comedies or farce.
