What is your creative outlet? Do you make time for appreciating & engaging in the arts? More than ever, people are realizing the pleasure & importance of creative expression in its many forms. In this age of hurry, multi-tasking, & often feeling overwhelmed by life, are you exploring new ways to pour your thoughts & frustrations out through various avenues like painting, writing, singing, stitching… and/or are you inspired by others who are producing & sharing their passions? Are you looking to network with other creative minded individuals?
In the South Cowichan Valley, Cowichan South Arts Guild (CSAG) continues to be very active in offering regular
programming and workshops as well as networking with other groups to host events in Shawnigan Lake, Cobble Hill, and Mill Bay. We are a Non Profit organization made up of dedicated volunteers and enthusiasts, all committed to the shared vision of creating an inclusive community arts culture for individuals & families of all ages.
The Arts are for everyone & CSAG remains true to its motto: ‘Celebrating the creative potential in us all by
providing a variety of arts experiences and support to anyone in the community who is interested (whether
artist or not) at low or no cost with an annual membership of $15 ($20 for families).
Engaging all ages through the arts helps to support health & wellness, builds connections, & strengthens the community. Partnering with as many local organizations, businesses, and community groups as possible has helped to create an easy flow of mutual inspiration & build support for all those involved.
If you are a Visual Artist, Performing Artist, a Maker, a Creator, an Appreciator, or even a curious individual… please connect with us!!
Together we can continue to face the shifting, uncertain times we are in by finding beauty, purpose & meaning
in the creative life, while building a vibrant, connected community that supports the creative potential in us all !
