The Nicola Valley Art Gallery


The Nicola Valley Arts Gallery is a hub of activity for artists and arts enthusiasts, to meet and chat, and share materials, processes, skills, and interests. The artwork exhibition in the Gallery changes almost monthly. We welcome and support the visual arts, music, and the performing arts.

 

We encourage artists in the community through:

  • shows
  • workshops
  • classes
  • resources
  • and programs

Let us know what your interests are!
