Summary of 918 Bathurst Centre
918 Bathurst Centre for Culture, Arts, Media & Education is an 8,000+ square foot, not-for-profit arts centre & special events venue located in Toronto’s vibrant Annex neighbourhood.
The Centre facilitates, presents and provides a nurturing space for projects, classes, workshops, exhibitions and performances that serve the artistic, creative, intellectual, professional and personal development of individuals and organizations in Toronto.
In 2012, 918 Bathurst’s key programming streams include:
Kids Education & Play
918 Bathurst Centre is an ideal facility to host kids educational programming, such as math and art classes, as well as extended creative play activities, such as regular chess clubs, craft-making, and cultural education groups.
Adult Education
The Lower Level at 918 Bathurst is uniquely designed to host Adult Education classes in a variety of fields. In 2010, for instance, we hosted master classes in stage performance; we are developing an ESL adult learner program, as well as running business classes for artists in partnership with the Cultural Careers Council of Ontario.
Gallery 918

Physical Development
As a Centre for personal growth, we already host several dance and exercise groups. From Pilates to Zumba, yoga, meditation and Salsa socials, 918 Bathurst believes in the personal and social value of physical development.
