Montreal, Quebec. Effectively immediately, the KoSA Arts Centre is now to be known as the Crowley Arts Centre. The name change comes as a result of a decision to reflect the centre's presence as a general events and arts establishment, that is home to a variety of activities, artists, and groups corporate and private. In addition, the name change reflects the fact that the building is on Crowley Avenuein the NDG (Notre-Dame-de-Grâce) neighbourhood of Montreal's West End.

Crowley Arts Centre opened its doors in 2009 as the KoSA Arts Centre. It is owned and operated by Nick Patulli, Director of Operations. Since the opening, Mr. Patulli has been presenting and developing activities that include music, dance, theatre, and visual arts, corporate and private events, and educational seminars. Mr. Patulli recently appointed the multi-award winning Justin Time Records recording artist, jazz vocalist, educator, and professor, Jeri Brown as the centre's Program Director & Artistic Consultant. Crowley Arts Centre is also the home of the KoSA Music Academy, owned and operated by musician Aldo Mazza.

Mr. Patulli recognizes the importance of presenting and hosting a variety of cultural events and activities in addition to having a West End Montreal space that is convenient and grand for a variety of activities such as private occasions and corporate presentations. He is looking forward to welcoming his soon to be neighbours on the site that will become Montreal's “superhospital," the Glen Campus of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) on the tract of land known as the Glen Yards, formerly of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Crowley Arts Centre is a three story structure with a 350 seat event hall with state of the art acoustics, private VIP suites, a large lobby area with bar, conference rooms, the option of furnished or non-furnished offices, managerial and technical support, air conditioning, wireless Internet connectivity, and in-house catering services.
