about


we're a collaboration lab: exploring opportunities for equity-advancing, arts-enhancing partnerships
We are a collaboration of artists and arts organizations actively forging connections and synergies with sectors such as economic development and tourism. Why? Because art touches everything: it is a fundamental component of community and individual wellness, tourism and business sector vitality, and so much more. Check out our Steering Committee and some of our current projects.
Interested in learning more about our committee or activities?
We are grateful for the momentum generated by the Digital Innovation Group (DIG) - a group of six Vancouver Island and Gulf Island arts councils.
In March 2020, DIG received funding from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Strategy Fund (DSF) to explore ways to use technology to transform how arts councils operate, collaborate and communicate. Check out DIG’s exciting initiatives and accomplishments here: digarts.ca
