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.

The Gallery Curator, Gift Shop Artisans, and volunteers welcome visitors and guide them through the exhibits.

We encourage artists in the community through:

• shows
• workshops
• classes
• resources
• and programs

We welcome and support the visual arts, music, and the performing arts.

Let us know what your interests are!

We've Moved!

We are no longer at the old Courthouse on Nicola Avenue!

After 18 years, the NVCAC has found a new home at 2051 Voght St.

Known as the old Jackson Building, the longtime home of Posts Meat Market.

Come and visit us there!
