Have your say: Cultural Hub Concepts for Oshawa
Community members are invited to review and provide feedback on the preliminary design concepts for a potential cultural hub in Oshawa.
The City of Oshawa is undertaking a Feasibility Study related to the potential conversion of its Arts Resource Centre into a cultural hub. Phase 1 of the Study’s public and stakeholder consultation was held earlier this year and resulted in a vision for an accessible and inclusive space for creative participation supporting artists, creatives, and members of the public with arts programming and opportunities for creative expression.
Architect firm Giaimo has translated the community’s collective feedback into three exciting preliminary designs, which include conceptual exteriors (i.e. potential building facades, entrances, signage, etc.) and layouts of interior spaces/areas (i.e. potential locations for workshops/classrooms and administrative offices).
The City and project consultant Nordicity are interested in understanding which conceptual design and scale best resonates with the Oshawa community, and will use public and stakeholder input to inform the Feasibility Study’s final recommendations. All responses are anonymous.
Have your say
Community members are invited to participate in one of two ways:

The form will take approximately five minutes to complete and will be open until noon on Monday, September 12, 2022.
