About préville
Join the Préville community, where we bring the arts to life!
The Préville Fine Arts Centre is a not-for-profit organization that has been a leader in bilingual, arts-based education ever since 1974, when it was founded by musician and visionary, Belva Thomas. Préville is led by General Director, Veronica Thomas and overseen by a dedicated board of directors.
Located in Saint-Lambert on Montreal’s south shore, Préville welcomes learners of all ages, offering a wide variety of activities in music, dance, the performing and visual arts, robotics, technology, languages and more.
In the Fall of 2020 we launched The Préville Dance Academy, followed soon after by our amazing virtual school, Préville Online! which allows us to reach an even wider community.
Whether learning in person or online, Préville is committed to offering its community accessible, inclusive, high-quality programming at the lowest possible cost.
