Inverness County Centre for the Arts
Overview
The Inverness County Centre for the Arts is a regional hub for the arts on the west coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Situated in the town of Inverness in an area famous for unspoiled beaches, vibrant music, visual arts, and world-class golf, the 8,640 square foot art centre houses a gallery, ICCA gift shop, a performance space, and a light-filled studio. Walls of windows take in views of the rolling hills, the town, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Exhibitions, concerts, workshops, and other arts-related events at the centre celebrate the creative spirit of the artists of Inverness County as well as those from across Canada and the United States.
This facility is wheelchair accessible with free Wi-Fi and is available for rentals. We are located at the north end of the village of Inverness on the dirt road adjacent to the ocean and just passed the Route 19 Brewery
