Our Mission
The Cultch’s mission is to activate, engage and encourage discourse through live performance; to cultivate a wide and diverse community of artists, audiences and supporters; to build long lasting and meaningful relationships with everyone who chooses to participate with The Cultch; and to be the best contemporary cultural centre in Canada.
As Vancouver’s most diverse and innovative arts and cultural hub, The Cultch has created meaningful, impactful connections across communities for over 50 years. As a presenting theatre, we curate unique, intimate, and diverse performances from Vancouver, Canada, and across the globe — offering dynamic contemporary programming in theatre, dance, music, circus, and visual arts. We host vibrant gatherings and lively conversations around the issues, topics, and ideas that are presented in our shows. We remove barriers to access by providing ASL Interpretation performances and free tickets to those for whom cost is prohibitive.
We are connectors, facilitators, culture changers, and we are committed to providing the highest level of service and care we can offer. We activate this work in our three theatres—the Historic, the Vancity Culture Lab, and the York—a gallery, and various multi-use spaces in the heart of East Vancouver, as well as our Cultch Online digital presentations that reach international audiences. We welcome everyone who loves live performance into our spaces and invite them to make The Cultch their home.
