Le Vitrail – Espace culturel

Le Vitrail – Espace culturel is located in Thetford Mines in Chaudière-Appalaches. Its mission is to present and provide access to a variety of forms of arts and culture. The organization offers access to a unique gathering place for the community. It also gives priority to emerging and/or local artists. The organization ensures the valorization of a distinctive building with a unique architecture.

Until the termination of religious celebrations in 2019, the former Sainte-Marthe Church, built in 1963, was a gathering place for the community. It was a space where people took a pause to experience a moment of recollection and replenishment. With its amphitheatre-like interior, Le Vitrail – Espace culturel unites the stage and the audience. The music-loving architect Paul-André Caouette studied volumes and materials in order to offer remarkable acoustics with its luminous stained-glass windows.

From the very first season in 2020, the richness of this unique acoustic was clearly displayed during the concert of harpist Valérie Milot and cellist Stéphane Tétreault. Since then, a program of Sunday afternoon classical music, as well as a variety of shows, are presented from September to June.

Espace culturel Le Vitrail wishes to promote the cultural and artistic diversity of its milieu and offer high quality concerts to the community and to visitors.
