50th ANNIVERSARY

In 2020 the Campbell River Arts Council celebrated its 50th anniversary. It was registered as a not-for-profit charity on August 31, 1970. Over the next 50 years, the Arts Council developed its role in the community to evolve into a key organization contributing 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.
