West Vancouver Community Arts Council


The West Vancouver Community Arts Council was established in 1968, with a mission to increase and broaden the opportunities for West Vancouver and all North Shore citizens to enjoy and participate in cultural activities. The WVCAC is based out of the Silk Purse Arts Centre on the waterfront near John Lawson Park at 1570 Argyle Avenue. The District of West Vancouver generously makes the Silk Purse available for the Council’s use.

WE'RE OPEN!

The Silk Purse Arts Centre, operated by the West Vancouver Community Arts Council, is open! We are so happy to showcase the work of talented artists & offer you meaningful engagement with art in person.

Plan Your Visit to review our COVID 19 Health & Safety Protocols, & find out what you need to know before visiting the gallery. We look forward welcoming you back at the gallery!

COMING BACK STRONG! FUNDRAISING APPEAL

With the help of more than 150 generous members and friends, our fundraising appeal has already generated $15,000 since May 1, 2020. We are grateful for your support! But—until health conditions permit normal programming revenue to return—the sustainability of our arts and cultural activity is not assured. Please take a moment now to contribute generously, using this online form from CanadaHelps. All donations will be acknowledged instantly with a charitable tax receipt.
