Opening a New Door for the Canadian Performing Arts

In 2017, the National Arts Centre underwent a massive renovation project to modernize the building and to offer their patrons a better overall experience when visiting the building in the heart of the Nation's capital city. These changes include the renewal of Southam Hall which houses the prestigious National Arts Center Orchestra. Most importantly, the renovations created a welcoming doorway for Canada to come together.

In this exhibit Chloe Monette and Ryan Tonneli explore the renovation process -- from the need for renovations to the demolition, construction, and grand unveiling of the newly redesigned and modern building.
