• Our Dream: A shared arts space for the community.

      Our dream of a space that provides access to art-making tools and materials, drop-in childminding, workshops, and more is one step closer to becoming a reality!


      We have been offered a fabulous, totally customizable lower-level space at the Quadra Village Community Centre (near Cook and Hillside) starting in September 2021, but we need your help!

      Please make a donation today to help us meet our fundraising goal of $3000 by August 31st to cover the costs of preparing the space for its Grand Opening during the Out There Art Festival!

      Have too much stuff, or time but no money? We'd love your help getting the space ready, and will be ready to accept donations of art supplies, tools, and equipment soon! Please see our Wish List below.

    Alter Arts Society is a registered non-profit organization and community initiative by and for artists located on the stolen lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən people.

     

    As uninvited visitors to these territories, we respectfully seek opportunities to unlearn oppressive, colonial practices that we have benefited from, and to follow the lead of Indigenous elders in stewarding these lands. We are committed to questioning existing power structures, and supporting the decolonization of our society and institutions and Indigenous self-determination however we can.
