“Only through art can we emerge from ourselves
and know what another person sees.” Marcel Proust
For over 50 years, our vision has remained unchanged: Comox Valley Arts works to foster & support Arts and Culture in the
community. Through a variety of cultural activities, programs, events, workshops, and exhibitions, we actively engage our community
and promote the Comox Valley as a dynamic center for Arts and Culture. Since the dawn of time, the arts have been an integral thread
in the fabric of society. They connect us. Therefore, our mission has always been to cultivate a vibrant, inclusive, and diverse arts
community. We offer a wide range of opportunities for community members to gather and engage with one another. We also work to
ensure that protocols set forth by the K’omoks First Nation are followed, and that there is barrier-free access to all of our
self-produced and partnered activities.
