The Osprey Arts Centre houses the Osprey Theatre and the Coastline Gallery. Open year round, the Osprey exhibits visual art and presents popular and classical music, live theatre, a film series, summer arts camps for kids and a literary festival and book launches. The Osprey also hosts events across Shelburne County in schools and other venues and rents its space to community groups and private concerns for public and private functions such as weddings, meetings, conferences and lectures. The Osprey Arts Centre Association is run by a volunteer Board of Directors and three part-time staff.

To be a place where people turn for training in the arts and to be available to all members of the community as a place to perform. The Osprey Arts Centre aims to be a true community arts crossroad so that the people of Shelburne County recognize the value of and appreciate the presence of the performing arts in their community.
