About
Reconciliation is a big word. The Elders remind us that it is a process, a journey without one single road or a final destination. It is not always easy or comfortable and it is sometimes confusing and frustrating, yet worth every step. We have a story to share about our reconciliation journey – its highs, its lows, its emotions and the unimaginable gifts discovered along the way. Join us on this journey. Reconciliation starts with Thu-itstuhw [Telling the Truth]
Choose your journey:
-A walk-through multimedia gallery (free admission) in the CVAC Gallery
-A youth art exhibit
-A deep immersive 3-hour exploration (Ticketed option)
-Or, experience all three

Organizer
Cowichan Valley Arts Council
The Cowichan Valley Arts Council infuses art and culture into the lives and aspirations of our community. As a not-for-profit community art gallery and studio, we showcase established artists, and welcome new talent to our space. From world-class exhibitions, to workshops, meetings and guest speakers, no matter what it is you’re drawn to, there is much to be found here.
Founded in 1979, we have grown from a small local gallery, to a dynamic facility, that includes a Gallery, Annex and Studio space. While we have evolved, what remains the same is our purpose – to make the arts accessible to all.
We are a close-knit community of Board Members, staff, artisans, and patrons, bolstered by the support of our volunteers who work tirelessly to turn a vision into reality.
We believe in the extraordinary potential of the arts to enrich and engage a community.
Mission statement: The purpose of the Cowichan Valley Arts Council is to enrich community through the lens of arts and culture.
