Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre

The Esplanade in Medicine Hat is where arts and heritage come alive. Stories of the collective culture are told through music, dance, theatre, painting, sculpture, exhibitions, installations, artifacts, and objects d’art. Inside, you'll find a vibrant art gallery, a prized museum, an intimate studio theatre, a dynamic education suite, expansive public archives, and enthusiastic volunteers and staff ready to share the city's tale. Opened in 2005 to celebrate Alberta's centennial, the Esplanade has since been a hub for artists, audiences, storytellers, and story lovers from around the region and the globe. The celebration continues today, and you are invited to join in. Enter the Esplanade and enjoy the experience.
