About Us

The Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre is for everyone. Whether you're an art lover, a cultural enthusiast, or someone who can appreciate the beauty of an architecturally stunning facility - the Esplanade is for you. Medicine Hat is proud to bring together the disciplines of visual art, performance art, and cultural heritage under one roof. But not only is this building a place to appreciate and interpret culture, it is a place for our community to gather, to celebrate, and to cherish.

History

The Esplanade was built in 2005 as one of Alberta's Centennial Legacy Projects. The Medicine Hat Museum, Art Gallery and Archives had outgrown its facility and the City of Medicine Hat began considering options for expansion. With this opportunity grew the idea of adding a Performing Arts Theatre into the fold and combining all of these disciplines under one roof. The idea for Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre was born.

Where did the name "Esplanade" come from?

In the late 1800's, the streets in downtown Medicine Hat had different names. First Street SE (where our new Arts & Heritage Centre is built) used to be called " Esplanade Road." The street names were changed to their current monikers in 1914. Esplanade (which means "pathway near water") is actually a popular name for large buildings near water, like resorts, condominiums, hotels and theatres.
