Nelson: The Kootenays’ Cultural Capital
Tucked into the Selkirk Mountains on the shores of Kootenay Lake, Nelson is a creative powerhouse in British Columbia’s interior. Known for its heritage architecture, progressive energy, and artistic community, Nelson is home to hundreds of working artists and a year-round calendar of cultural events.
Discover galleries, artisan boutiques, and public art in the walkable downtown core, or venture out to nearby studios nestled in the surrounding valleys. Whether you’re into fine arts, performance, or handcrafted wares, Nelson offers a deeply immersive and eclectic arts experience.
