The purpose of the Cowichan Valley Arts Council is to encourage and foster appreciation of the broad spectrum of arts and culture in the Cowichan Valley Region (CVRD), by serving artists and residents through advocacy, by building connections and partnerships and by enhancing both exposure to and participation in arts and culture.
The PORTALS goal:
TO be an inspiring "go to" place in which CVAC members and guests share local, regional and national arts, culture and heritage information and experiences with residents of the entire Cowichan Valley. Focused on creative excellence and best practice, PORTALS showcases the integration of all types of creative and artistic genres and highlights both the Cowichan Valley Arts Council members and the community at large.
