Small World Centre

The Small World Centre, opened in 2014, was created as a permanent home for these activities - a place where artists, audiences, and communities can gather to create and share music and culture.

Located in the heart of Toronto, the Small World Centre is an intimate cultural venue designed for live performance, community gatherings, and creative productions. The Centre serves as a vibrant hub where music, arts, film, and cultural dialogue come together.

Operated by Small World Music, the Centre reflects the organization’s mission to celebrate global music traditions and create spaces where artists and audiences can connect through meaningful cultural experiences.

With its welcoming atmosphere and professional technical capabilities, the Small World Centre has hosted concerts, theatre productions, film screenings, cultural festivals, workshops, and community events from artists and organizations across Toronto and beyond.
