Description

The Cowichan Valley Arts Council infuses art and culture into the lives and aspirations of our community. As a not-for-profit community art gallery and studio, we showcase established artists, and welcome new talent to our space. From world-class exhibitions, to workshops, meetings and guest speakers, no matter what it is you’re drawn to, there is much to be found here. Founded in 1971, we have grown from a small local gallery to a dynamic facility, that includes a Gallery, Annex and Studio space. While we have evolved, what remains the same is our purpose— to make the arts accessible to all. We are a close-knit community of Board Members, staff, artisans, and patrons, bolstered by the support of our volunteers who work tirelessly to turn a vision into reality. We believe in the extraordinary potential of the arts to enrich and engage a community. “Art speaks to people in many different ways. It’s deeply personal. That’s what makes it so interesting and so powerful.”
