This looks like it's going to be a great performance happening at : Juno award winner Jeremy Dutcher is a classically trained tenor, Two-Spirit song carrier, and member of Neqotkuk (Tobique First Nation). Jeremy’s unapologetically playful music blends classical and jazz influences, full of reverence for the traditional songs of his home, and teeming with the urgency of modern-day resistance.

is coming soon - are you ready for it? That's right, the special time of year after Black Friday and Cyber Monday when we pause our capitalist impulses to take a moment and give back to our Community! Take a moment to think of the things you value and want to support. If you value art and community, if you love the Salish Sea Lantern Festival, and Studio Tours, & our wonderful little gallery in Tulista Park, think about making a donation on Dec. 2nd - or why wait? You can come to the gallery or visit our website to make a donation today. Your gift helps make all of our programs possible. Fully 25% of our funding came from donations in 2024, and donating is more important now as we face difficult times. We need you! Thanks for your support!

Art+Culture+Community Serving the Saanich Peninsula

“ArtSea Community Arts Council supports all the ways you may experience arts and culture in our community every day. You may create through paintings, writing, film, dance or music. Or you may express yourself in groups, through singing or acting. You may collect art for your home or visit art galleries and theatres. Or you may observe art wherever you find it – the Sidney sculpture walk, the children’s Lantern Festival and the welcome totems in Central Saanich. Our mandate is to help you participate in all forms of art.”
