The Arts Council for the South Shuswap

To engage South Shuswap residents and visitors in creative collaborations that enrich and transform lives through arts and culture creation, celebration and participation. 

The Arts Council for the South Shuswap is a registered non-profit society dedicated to strengthening arts and culture in the South Shuswap. We support and deliver programs such as FACES Performing Arts, Music by the Bay, and the Small Hall Music Crawl, creating opportunities for people of all ages to learn, create, and experience the arts close to home.

Our work is rooted in accessibility and community. Through grants and donations, we keep programs affordable for families while fairly compensating skilled instructors. With a strong focus on youth arts education, confidence building, and creative growth, we provide professional instruction and meaningful performance opportunities in a supportive environment.

Our events also support and showcase talented local and regional musicians, offering them a platform to share their work and connect with the community. Our goal is simple: to ensure the arts remain an active, valued, and accessible part of life in the South Shuswap.
