Centre In The Square Welcomes Danny Harvey as Director of Programming

Centre In The Square is pleased to welcome Danny Harvey to the team.

Danny is a seasoned arts leader with nearly three decades of experience in cultural programming, venue operations, and community-centred artistic development, including 27 years with the City of Brampton.

Throughout his career, Danny has championed meaningful collaborations with leading artists, cultural organizations, and community partners. During his time in Brampton, he helped transform Rose Theatre Presents from a transactional booking model into a multifaceted, culturally responsive program that reflected the city’s rich intercultural identity.

He also led the programming and artistic direction for two of Brampton’s largest civic celebrations: Canada Day at Chinguacousy Park and New Year’s Eve in Garden Square. Each year, Danny curated dynamic, high-impact lineups that balanced nationally recognized talent with emerging local artists.

His work combined strategic talent booking, large-scale event logistics, and deep community engagement, resulting in signature events that consistently attracted tens of thousands of attendees and strengthened Brampton’s reputation as a destination for accessible, high-quality public celebrations.

Danny’s addition brings a wealth of artistic knowledge, industry experience, and community-focused leadership to Centre In The Square as we continue to grow our programming and community engagement.
