Due to the shifting nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, events and opening hours of many organizations may change from time to time.  Should you plan a visit or wish to attend an event with an arts organization listed on Art-BC.com, we recommend that you visit their website for up-to-date details on their offerings and safety protocols.

British Columbia’s festivals and events are as diverse as our geography and residents. From Bard on the Beach in Vancouver’s Vanier Park, to symphonic experiences with Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, Art-BC.com brings you the most comprehensive list of events throughout the province.

Being that British Columbia is a cultural hub, you can expect to find year-round artistic events anywhere you go. Visit ongoing exhibitions at local galleries, or stop by a studio for a one-day art walk! Immerse yourself in the art of film during the Whistler Film Festival. And by all means, jam out at Prince George’s Coldsnap Winter Music Festival.

With Art-BC you can experience dance, studio tours, pumpkin patches, and music of all genres, all while exploring some of the most beautiful landscapes the world has to offer.
