The National Arts Centre collaborates with artists and arts organizations across Canada to help create a national stage for the performing arts, and acts as a catalyst for performance, creation and learning across the country. A home for Canada’s most creative artists, the NAC strives to be artistically adventurous in each of its programming streams – the NAC Orchestra, Dance, English and French Theatre, as well as the Scene festivals and NAC Presents, which showcase established and emerging Canadian artists. The organization is at the forefront of youth and educational activities, offering artist training, programs for children and youth, and resources for teachers in communities across Canada. The NAC is also a pioneer in new media, using technology to teach students and young artists around the globe, by creating top-rated podcasts, and providing a wide range of NACO concerts on demand. 

Le Centre national des Arts collabore avec des artistes et des organisations artistiques partout au Canada afin de créer une vibrante scène nationale dans le domaine des arts du spectacle, et agit comme catalyseur de la diffusion, de la création et de la transmission des savoirs d’un bout à l’autre du pays.
