50TH ANNIVERSARY

In 2020, the Campbell River Arts Council celebrated its 50th anniversary, having registered as a not-for-profit charity on August 31, 1970. For over 50 years, the Arts Council has evolved into a key organization that contributes to Campbell River’s social, cultural and economic development.

The Arts Council currently manages a wide spectrum of community programs.  It manages the historic Sybil Andrews Cottage and Walter Morgan Studio on behalf of the City of Campbell River.  It has developed partnerships across health, education, environmental and economic sectors.

As you will witness in this social media program 50 Posts for 50 Years, the history of the Arts Council is intrinsically enmeshed within the cultural evolution of our city.  We have been on the leading edge of creative new initiatives.  We are proud to have been a part of our local heritage.  And we have contributed dynamically to the overall development of Campbell River.
