Welcome to BC Arts and
Culture Week!
2012 Dates: APRIL 22-28 (TBC)
 Coming up on its 13th year, Arts and Culture Week turns the spotlight
on the vital contribution that arts and culture make in learning
and in life. Music, films, media arts, dance, books, theatre and
visual art are a part of daily life, and have a lasting impact.
They inspire us, challenge us and broaden our horizons and help us to become informed, aware and contributing members of society.
Next year, from April 22-28, hundreds of arts councils and schools across BC will be participating
in this week-long celebration of the arts. Each year, over 20,000
artists, young people, educators and community members host and
participate in performances, art walks, exhibitions, workshops,
and public art projects.
You can take part too!

- Submit your event using our online forms (for Schools; for Communities). Other methods of submisison are available on the right.
