Cultural Presentations at SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts

Connecting Arts, Community & Collaboration

About Us

Cultural Presentations (CP) is a program under Production and Event Services (GCAPES) at the SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts (SFU GCA).

The Cultural Presentations Manager (CPM) supports events across SFU’s outstanding venues and versatile spaces, ideal for a wide range of creative and cultural activities from arts productions, dance, music, and theatre to film screenings and industry events, we provide the ideal environment for a vibrant blend of professional and community-driven artistic experiences.

We believe in the important role of the arts to foster dialogue, inspire creativity, and build community.

SFU GCA is also home of SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts (SCA), and their work is closely aligned, focusing on supporting both current and former SCA and SFU students.

“Having access to the SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts has been such a gift to our program and to those who get to see the finished projects the way they are intended to be seen."

- Dana Oikawa, Downtown Eastside Small Arts Grants

Our Vision

Rooted in a legacy of partnership and artistic excellence, Cultural Presentations continues the original mission of SFU Goldcorp Centre of the Arts—to collaborate with professional arts organizations and community groups across disciplines and backgrounds.

Through this work, we aim to sustain GCA as a welcoming, inclusive, and culturally active space for diverse voices to be seen and heard.
