UCC has two theatres for the presentation of performances and an Art Gallery as well as a number of informal spaces for the exhibition of artworks. These spaces are used for exhibitions and performances of works by UCC students and faculty as well as providing venues for artists, performers, authors, etc., who come to campus in conjunction with such programs as "Cultural Events" the "Visiting Artist Program," and the UCC Chorus. Such activities as these are vital to the promotion of cultural activities in Kamloops and at UCC.
Located off Student Street, and part of the Visual and Performing Arts Department, the Actor's Workshop Theatre is a 'state of the art' theatre which can be modified into a variety of configurations, and is used by students of the "Actor's Workshop" for the production of plays associated with UCC's Theatre Program.
Situated in the Clocktower building, the Alumni theatre is the rehearsal and teaching space for the UCC Chorus and other music classes. The theatre is also used for a range of performances and readings that take place as "Cultural Events' at UCC.
Located in the Old Main building, the UCC Fine Arts Gallery is used for regular exhibitions of artwork by UCC Fine Arts students and faculty, as well as for exhibitions originating from other programs at UCC. The Gallery is also used for presentations by artists who come from across Canada as part of the Canada Council funded "Visiting Artist" program. Other venues on campus that are regularly used for the exhibition of student art work include the "ARC Gallery" in the Campus Activity Centre, the "Health Services" office in Old Main, the "UCC Dining Room" in the Food Training Building, and the third floor foyer of the Clocktower, as well as an outdoor sculpture Garden adjacent to Fine Arts.
