Hornby Arts

The channel of the Hornby Island Arts Council.

The Hornby Island Arts Council was established in December 1998 and is in a period of profound transition. Having moved between insecure and inadequate spaces for two decades, we stand prepared to establish an Arts Centre.

Hornby has an outsized reputation in the arts and may have the highest per-capita density of artists in all of Canada.

Hornby Arts’ goal, like most charitable non-profits, is to improve quality of life. Our constitution mandates that this is accomplished by: increasing and broadening opportunities to appreciate, enjoy and participate in artistic and cultural activities through events and workshops, improving the standards of artistic expression in our community, and establishing an Arts Centre where diverse forms of creative expression can be supported.
