Creative Communities in Penticton

Connect With  BC’s Creative Communities:

“Curated Community is a celebration of the arts and culture in BC, hosted by a diverse mix of artists and business owners in a specific city”, explains founder Trudy Van Dop. “Art-BC Community Directory is committed to ‘training the spotlight’ on the arts, culture and heritage of the province.”
