Shadbolt Centre For The Arts

Very nice place! Its very spacious with tables, seats and benches.very easy location to go by bus (the 144 for metro) and nice veiw of deer lake.the only problem is that the room location are a little messy and hard to get too.

Really affordable arts programs for the community! They probably offer some of the cheapest classes & the instructors are all very kind. I have taken their piano, dance & art classes - all were great. Love this place - you can also go for a walk in the back and it's very nice:)

Wife and I attended the jazz band before they invited audience to jam with them. Excellent, professional players who clearly love the genre.

Warm, light-filled, performance centre with lots of seating and very comfortable vibes. We didn’t check out any of the performances but saw the beautiful space. There were some display glasses with really cool art displays of owls and puppets. Parking is available at the Burnaby Art Gallery for up to 3 hours. It is also close to deer lake and a nearby playground.

If you visit the Deer Lake Park area, this is the place you shouldn't miss.
It's a beautiful building but I think the inside is more attractive than the building's outside.
It offers many art programs, art displays and always has concerts at night.
A small coffee shop but the seating area lighting is too dark.
If the coffee shop can arrange some tables and chairs with a pop up coffee booth outdoor in summer time, it will be so good for all visitors.
We can imagine that how relax that people can enjoy cup of coffee with a perfect garden and lake view.
Any way it is a good place for all.

Architecture is great, gives off a very warm inviting feeling. Multiple multipurpose rooms are good. Location on the lake is beautiful.
Didn't get to see the theater.

I fell in love with that place! It provides you with some good positive energy! It’s warm, cozy & embracing. It’s a favourite picnic spot to many, haven’t tried yet, but will soon. The place hosts children's dance classes, music recitals, and live theatre productions.
It also has a cafe with hot food and a variety of sweet treats.
A great place to take a little rest while walking around dear lake.

We were outside on Dec 31st at 5: 30pm when it was cold, we were wishing there were an outdoor fireplace! Also there were no benches under cover, all of them were covered in snow

Most of the studios are not only beautiful but also functional/effective, except for 102. The marley floors truly make a difference for dancers, especially those who have physical sensitivities or injuries. The instructors I have had are knowledgeable and friendly, they also take the time to provide individualized feedback which I still very much appreciate even though I have danced for almost 30 years. An added bonus is the cafeteria. I'm grateful to have Shadbolt within a reasonable driving distance.

My best favourite place to picnic. Recently become more charming for the autumn colours. There's a huge beautiful meadow between the Art Center and Deer Lake where is the perfect place for human and gooses to share and enjoy the outdoors. Free parking lot in the front and always with plenty of empty slots.

In general we like the centre and Deer Lake Park very much, but because of Covid-19 it is still closed to the general public and thus not available to the public as a place to socialize or use it as a place to stay cool during the recent and present BC heat waves. After so many months into the Covid pandemic the ongoing closure is unacceptable. There has been enough time passed in order to have some form of secure opening to the public.

It's still closed unless you are in a registered program. Coffee shop still closed. Washrooms closed.
Jiffy John is available outside.

A Little Lunch Music. Hour long concert by local musicians in the Studio Theatre. You can also buy lunch for $12.00+Tax=$12.60, includes dessert, Tea and Coffee. Bonus: you can bring the food into the theatre and enjoy your meal and dessert during the performance. Check their website for schedules.

Near the parking lot by the Shadbolt center it’s where you could find some beautiful maple trees with bright red leaves in autumn. The pictures are taken in mid October 2020.
