KAMLOOPS ARTS COUNCIL
Partnerships
The more arts activities, the more vibrant our community!
We believe in collaboration, not competition — and we support all arts activities in all disciplines in the Kamloops region by helping promote artists & arts events through our newsletters, social media, Online Arts Directory and more.
In order to extend our reach, in addition to the events and programs we produce and our own KAC Grants & Scholarships, the Kamloops Arts Council also supports these great initiatives:
