About Confederation Centre of The Arts:
Founded in 1964 as Canada’s National Memorial to the Fathers of Confederation, who gathered at Province House in 1864 to discuss the creation of Canada, Fathers of Confederation Buildings Trust now operates as Confederation Centre of The Arts (CCOA). CCOA aims to engage and empower the imagination of youth; to honour the vision of the Founders of Canada; to strengthen Canada’s national identity; and to increase the cultural wealth of all Canadians. It showcases Canadian visual and performing arts by operating several theatres, an art gallery and the Charlottetown Festival.
In the 2017 season, the Confederation Centre of the Arts launched multiple theatre, gallery and heritage initiatives. In 2017, CCOA organized the Barenaked Ladies to perform. This well-known Canadian band performed on the 25th anniversary of their album Gordon. In addition, during the 2017 season, CCOA showcased four new pieces of theatre: On the Road with Dutch Mason, Pollyanna, Tompkinsville, and The Longing and the Short of It, as well as presenting two concerts.
The number of visitors to the Confederation Centre Art Gallery increased by 1,000 people in F2018 (The charity does not report the total visitation number for the year). The gallery presents an average of 20 exhibitions each year, and has a permanent collection of over 17,000 items.
