Resource Centre For The Arts and LSPU Hall are true mainstays of our performing arts community.

Over the past few years, our founders have had the privilege of partnering with RCA on community engagement initiatives that brought together artists and cultural leaders for meaningful conversations.

We’re proud to now support their continued growth and expanded capacity - work that remains essential to our arts and culture sector and to our broader community 💫

The Resource Centre for the Arts is pleased to acknowledge the generous support of The Marlowe Foundation.

With their thoughtful contribution, The Marlowe Foundation continues to demonstrate their pledge in supporting arts, culture, and community in Newfoundland and Labrador, and across Canada. Strong roots make for strong trees, and our friends at the Marlowe Foundation are working hard to make sure the whole forest continues to thrive. We look forward to continuing to work with them in the years to come.
