The E. A. Rawlinson Centre is the hub of arts and cultural activities in Prince Albert. It houses both the Art Gallery of Prince Albert and the John G. and Olive Diefenbaker Theatre. The entire facility is operated by the Prince Albert Arts Board, who have contracted its operation to Star Development Corporation.

The Art Gallery of Prince Albert engages and facilitates the development, presentation and preservation of the visual Arts in a diverse and inclusive community.

The Prince Albert Exhibition Association was organized out of a need for governance and leadership in the settlement area of Prince Albert. It quickly became the only systematic organization in the District of Lorne. The society was charged with and accepted the responsibility of the community and surrounding district, establishing a governing body. It took the place of a municipal council and preceded the organization of the Board of Trade by three years.
