The space was designed to integrate visual arts, performing arts and a library, and its mission is to be a place for the community to gather and discover the arts. 

In 2016, the Maison de la culture Notre-Dame-de-Grâce opened a second branch, the Centre Culturel Notre-Dame-Grâce, located on Avenue de Monkland. 

The Monkland branch of the Maison de la culture Notre-Dame-de-Grâce is home to an exhibition space, the Galerie Monkland, an indoor terrace and back patio that is ideal for outdoor events. The Iro Valaskakis Tembeck performance hall, named after the illustrious professional dancer who lived in the neighbourhood, has a capacity of 200 people. It was designed especially for dance performances, but is perfect for a multidisciplinary and diverse program of events that is sure to please the public. 

Since it opened 2016, the Centre culturel de Notre-Dame-de-Grâce has delighted passersby with its modern architecture and omnipresent bright colours. You can also admire the public work “Chromazone” by artist Hal Ingberg, which is skillfully integrated into the building.
