Because of You We Can:

• Provide free creative opportunities for our community through the Arts Matter Program. Hands on and online participatory events that ignite the creative spark for people of all ages.
• Continue to support our community and artists through the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Provide creative opportunities for marginalized and vulnerable community members in partnership with social service providers.
• Partner with artists, galleries, and local businesses on festivals, art walks, and other collaborative community events.
• Partner with other arts organizations and groups who are not able to fundraise or apply for grants due to their capacity.
• Offer $1500 in High School Bursaries. We provide bursaries to Penticton and Princess Margaret High School students each year.

Together, we are reducing barriers to art-making and creativity while building a vibrant, flourishing, and sustainable artistic community for all.
