The arts are for everyone…

From our popular Art in the Park festival on Canada Day to our Galleries & Exhibitions featuring local artists in all mediums, the Kamloops Arts Council’s year-round low- and no-cost arts programs provide opportunities for local visual and performing artists while making the arts accessible to all.

Festivals 

The KAC may be best known for its annual festivals which take place in and around Kamloops. From Art in the Park to our Children’s Arts Festival, our festivals are accessible, imaginative, creative, inclusive, and fun — and produced with the highest degree of integrity.
