Membership Matters!

Powell River Council for Arts & Culture operates The Art Centre Public Gallery where you can participate in exhibitions, events, classes, camps or workshops, located on the traditional territory of the Tla'amin Nation.

We also manage the City of Powell River's Community Arts and Culture Grants. The Arts and Culture Grant Intakes are in April and September; please see our website for more details: Powellriverartscouncil.ca

Your membership helps us fulfill our mandate to support and advocate for diverse artistic and cultural activities and arts organizations in the qathet Region, provide accessible art experiences, and offer inspiring art education programs to children, youth and adults. Your membership assists us in representing our community and helps our artists thrive.

We are grateful for the financial assistance from our volunteers, members, the City of PR, and the province of BC, with special thanks to the BC Arts Council.
