About

The Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning (J.K. Tett building) is located on Lake Ontario's waterfront in Kingston, Ontario. This historic building is owned by the City of Kingston and was fully renovated in 2015. It originally formed part of the 19th C. Morton Brewery and Distillery Company and it is now a part of the Kingston's arts hub, housing nine art organizations, eight Creativity Studios, and a waterfront cafe. The Tett Centre provides four rental spaces, including the spacious Malting Tower with its limestone walls, high ceiling, bright windows and breath-taking view of the lake.

A portion of each rental of the venue spaces goes towards our Not for profit charity's community arts programming such as our free Kids Creativity Club. For more information about our community arts programming, please visit our website at www.tettcentre.org.
