I love the incredibly wide variety of production this building has hosted over the years and the number of artists, entertainers and most importantly audience members that come through the doors. It is a pillar in the community for grass-roots creative ventures and a platform for all levels of artistic productions from professional to completely home-spun-fun. I am one of the many people lucky enough to be involved in some capacity with such a cultural hub and hope to be for as long as I am on the Island, which looks like indefinitely.

Atlantic Presenters Association (APA) is proud to have The Guild as a member of our organization. APA has used The Guild for multiple events including our yearly Performing Arts Conference, Contact East, in 2012. The level of professionalism of the staff and the overall quality of the experience was unparalleled. Charlottetown is very fortunate to have such a venue in its community. APA looks forward to working with The Guild in the years to come.

The Guild has been a very important part of the musical community in Charlottetown for many years. Professionally run, it provides a unique space for all types of music performances.

The Guild has become an icon for the cultural community. This vibrant centre has provided established and budding artists with an accessible venue to showcase their talents. Islanders salute you and extend continued success as you embark on a new season!

If you ever have the need of a venue to hold an event on behalf of the Prince Edward Island Regiment, you need look no further than The Guild. The staff go above and beyond to treat people well and professionally and always will go the extra mile to help out. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Ticketpro is honoured to be partnered with The Guild. The staff and management have been an absolute pleasure to work with right from the start. Their obvious dedication to the arts and the community is to be commended. We wish them continued success.

The Guild has become the perfect home for our annual mainstage production of Anne and Gilbert – The Musical. It allows audiences to experience the show in a unique, intimate setting from the first moment they set foot in the theatre, passing through the houses of ‘Avonlea’ before taking their seats.

Campbell Webster

Producer, Anne & Gilbert - The Musical

The Guild is a critical component to the artistic community of Prince Edward Island. Many artists and community members have worked hard over the years to transform a bank into a hub of activity with music, visual art, theatre and drama, as well as providing a home to important arts organizations like the Arts Council. Every year The Guild gets stronger and more vibrant.

PEI Singer/Songwriter

We recently rented the facility and were completely thrilled with everything, from our first planning meeting to when the last guest left the building on the night of the event! The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and overall, a wonderful group to deal with. I would highly recommend The Guild – we could not have been any happier with every aspect of the day.
