The Campbell River Arts Council was established in 1970 to promote visual and performing arts in the Campbell River area. In 1998 the Council broadened its mandate, defining its new role with a mission statement: to foster awareness and interest in all art within the community, and to empower, support, and validate the creative efforts of local artists.
Over the years, the Campbell River Arts Council has initiated numerous programs in support of our mission. We partner with a wide range of local services, agencies, businesses and cultural groups and 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 sense of community health.
ART+EARTH INITIATIVE
