We can’t wait to see what you create.
Housed in a beautifully restored heritage building in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario, the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine & Performing Arts offers 95,000 square feet of creative, rehearsal and performance space.
Formerly the Canada Hair Cloth Factory, our facility has been transformed into an environmentally friendly and technologically updated arts environment that retains characteristics of the late-19th century building. It is in this remarkable venue that you will become part of a tight-knit community where creativity, collectivity, intellectual engagement and social impact intersect. Fostered by practicing professionals who deeply invest in your future as artists, scholars and teachers, ‘the Marilyn’ is among the best arts schools in Canada.
