Souris Cinema Project

The Kier Gallery is expanding our base of operations to include the community of Souris.
We have acquired the Souris Cinema property on Church Street as well the Leard property
on Main Street in Souris.
The theater was built in the 1880's as a theater by the BIS

Bill Chandler architect for the project is preparing conceptual drawings and cost analysis.

The historic Leard building (Circa 1880) once the heart and sole of the community is in need of love.

Updates on progress will be posted, all comments and ideas are welcome.

NEW HOME FOR PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND ARTS AND CULTURAL COMMUNITY

The Kier Gallery board of directors has been working on a new home for the gallery as well the further development of an art learning center. We have made an offer on the Kays Brothers Wholesaler properties on lower Queen and King Streets in Charlottetown and hope to be successful in our bid. This property consists of three buildings and will create studio, retail, and office spaces with a focus on developing a strong cultural workshop economy.
We are involved in discussions with CADC the City of Charlottetown as well our partners in the arts and cultural industry and will be updating members as the project develops.
We are in the development stage of the project and are looking for input and participation from the community, no idea is crazy and all help is appreciated.
Have a great day
