About Us

Kelowna Arts Council was founded in September 2012 as the Association of Artists for Creative Alliance (ACA), as a non-profit arts society based in Kelowna, British Columbia. We are dedicated to enriching lives through creative awareness, artistic education, building community, and strengthening relationships.

We work with amateur, emerging, and professional artists. Through inclusion, education, resources, and support–our mission is to integrate artistic diversity to ensure cultural vibrancy in Kelowna.

​

We create opportunities. Our dedicated team of volunteer board members, partnering organizations and supporters work hard to create opportunities where creatives from Kelowna can perform, exhibit, educate and share their work with our community.

​

We aim to make art accessible to all. Providing a means for people to experience and create art (in all its forms) can be life changing. Kelowna Arts Council aims to help make the arts accessible to all. We believe that everyone– from all walks of life, economic situations, and backgrounds should be able to experience and learn about the arts through unique and exciting programs, mentorship and more.

​

We benefit the community as a whole. Through both public and private sector support of art, artists, and arts organizations, Kelowna’s vibrant arts scene will continue to grow, providing many benefits to the community as a whole. Links available on our website enable Kelowna’s artists, businesses and those in the private sector to connect, build relationships, engage in mentorship and gain strength through shared experience.

​

Get involved. As a non-profit society, we rely on the generosity of volunteers, sponsors and donors. If you’d like to get involved or make a donation, please contact us.

Thank you for your interest and support in further building the artistic and cultural future of Kelowna.
