We encourage, develop and coordinate artistic and cultural activities in Greater Victoria. The object of the community arts council of Greater Victoria is to provide advocacy through leadership, partnership and community invovlement, and to increase and broaden public awareness and opportunities in the arts and cultural activities. ARTS talk is a newsletter that allows our members to know what events and competitions are coming up. Features of the newsletter include news from other Arts Councils, a spotlight on a local group, and information on available grants. We have gallery space available for the use of our members.
Members can show their work, have meetings or workshops, or use it as a rehearsal space.
Our members are eligible for arts grants and scholarships. There are annual group art grants through the British Columbia Arts Council . Every summer we publish an Arts Directory in partnership with Monday Magazine that lists those of our members who wish to purchase a listing. Each listing includes membership for another year. We bring upcoming events to the attention of our membership through our newsletter, so our members are always aware of any chance to show their work in one of our events.
