Mission
Squamish Arts aims to raise awareness of and improve access to arts and culture in Squamish while supporting local artists
About
Squamish Arts, formerly Squamish Arts Council, has existed since the early 1970’s serving Squamish as a community arts non-profit.
Through seeking funding resources, strengthening communication, and supporting local art initiatives we hope to serve the Squamish community as an advocate for the vision of a vibrant arts & culture scene in Squamish.
Vision
to see arts and culture embedded into the fabric of Squamish’s community and considered a vital component of its identity
Mandate
to support local artists in their pursuit of artistic development and excellence in all art forms; increase access to the arts for all local populations including enhancing art outlets for youth; pursue opportunities for a community arts space to enhance art development and learning in Squamish; cultivate community relationships to generate support and awareness for local arts; and act as a voice to local government and stakeholders that represents the collective arts community.

Our Partners
Squamish Arts acknowledges that the land on which we live, work and recreate is the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, particularly the territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation. It is our responsibility to honour their ancestry by being an ally to the present.
