Westben Arts Centre

Read Profile

Westben is a year-round performing arts centre that brings people together through music in nature. Located on a 50-acre farm near Campbellford, two hours east of Toronto, Westben’s Summer Festival has presented over 1100 performances, featuring 1200 artists in three outdoor venues: The Barn, Willow Hill Amphitheatre, and the Campfire, since opening July 1, 2000. Westben’s education programs include community choirs, lifelong learning Chalk Talks, Tech for Seniors and March Break camps and musicals. The annual International Performer Composer Residency brings international and Canadian musicians together to create and explore while sharing their practices with our local community of all ages. Westben grew out of the community and still thrives because of the support from its members, donors, sponsors, volunteers, staff, business, arts and government partners.
