If you believe that art and culture builds community and contributes to our collective quality of life, our social and economic health, and our ability to create a better future, sign up as a member and join our circle. We've got exciting things in store for 2020! A strong network of members is vital to our ability to realize inspiring and challenging art-based programs for the diverse communities we serve.

Here are a few of our most significant accomplishments, possible because of the engagement and support of our members:

Five distinct thought-provoking exhibitions per year, with related artist talks, workshops, tours, and readings by leading artists from across Canada.Engaging and creative activities for learners of all ages at Art Lab, inspired by each exhibition.
Working in partnership with the City of Nanaimo to commission public art for the new Harewood Skate Park by artist Joel Good and Bracken Hanuse-Corlett.
Special events throughout the year, that ground our exhibitions in a wider context such as our Boarder X storytelling tours with Snuneymuxw artist Kwulasultun Eliot White-Hill.
A permanent collection of art that is growing; our most recent acquisition included 15 works by Jerry Pethick who was an artist based on Hornby Island. Pethick’s work will be included in an exhibition in late 2021.
The recent commissioning of commissioned a significant new work by Snuneymuxw father and son artists, Joel and William Good, called Supernatural Eagle Bringing the Sun Back to the World. This cedar carving has been installed prominently above our public entrance way, and the project was nominated for a 2019 B.C. Museum Association award for Outstanding Achievement in Collections.
Two excellent teen programs, Dazzle Camouflage and C0d3: Youth Art Collective, that challenge and inspire creative youth.
Over 14,000 kids participate each year in our TD Artists in the Schools program.

We look forward to bringing you more relevant and innovative programming in the year to come.
