Discover more about Conexus Arts Centre

The Conexus Arts Centre, formerly known as the Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts, has been a cultural hub in Regina since its opening on August 24, 1970. Built to commemorate Canada's centenary, the centre was designed by Izumi, Arnott, and Sugiyama, and features Estevan brick and Manitoba Tyndall stone in its construction. The centre boasts a Main Theatre that seats 2,031, a Convention Hall with a seating capacity of 1,600, and several conference rooms and lobby display areas. The Main Theatre is equipped with three balconies and a large stage that can be hydraulically lowered to form an orchestra pit for 100 musicians. The Conexus Arts Centre is the home of the Regina Symphony Orchestra and hosts various events, including concerts, ballets, operas, and theatrical performances. The centre also serves as a venue for weddings and corporate events. The building's construction faced delays due to rising costs, leading to the substitution of Vermont marble with Estevan brick and other reductions in the original plans. In 2006, the Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts was renamed Conexus Arts Centre following a donation from Conexus Credit Union. The centre is fully wheelchair accessible, with automatic door openers, ramps, handicapped parking, and elevator service.
