Support community art activities…
The Campbell River Arts Council has presented and promoted community arts activities on northern Vancouver Island since 1971. We partner with a wide range of social service agencies, businesses, and cultural groups to offer creative approaches to community challenges. The arts have come to be viewed, through our efforts, as a major resource in contributing to Campbell River’s overall community health.
We present workshops, an Artist in Residence program, the Art+Earth Initiative, the Banner Project (for over 30 years!), distribute the Friday Round Up e-newsletter of events and opportunities, and support hundreds of other local arts projects.
We appreciate the support of 100 Women Who Care, our loyal membership, the Patrons of the Arts (POTA), and local members who see the important role that art plays in the health and wellbeing of our community. Thank you!
