About The Old Schoolhouse Arts Centre

Art is in Session

We are open 10- 4pm, Tuesday through Saturday

At The Old School House Arts Centre, we believe art is the heartbeat of our community; an act of service to ourselves and each other. It nourishes the soul, challenges perceptions, and invites beauty into the here and now. As the mid-Island hub for the arts, and leaders in innovation and collaboration, we’re here to help you make, understand, or acquire something that moves you. Led by our open-house philosophy, we welcome people from all walks of life into our studio spaces, classrooms, galleries, and events. We exist to connect the curious and the creative across generations and artistic mediums, and bring the transformative power of art into everyday life.

OUR MISSION

The mandate of The Old School House Arts Centre is to foster a vibrant arts centre that promotes and encourages the development of multi-dimensional artists and musicians for the enjoyment of all ages, residents and visitors alike, in Qualicum Beach and throughout central Vancouver Island.

HELP KEEP ART IN SESSION!

Art is essential to a vibrant community, and it takes resources to sustain the vision we’re committed to. As a registered non-profit charity, we rely on the generosity of our donors; people who understand the value of art, and its capacity for good. The artists, teachers, students, musicians, and volunteers who belong to this house bring limitless potential to our region, and your support ensures that art has a permanent place here in Qualicum Beach.

There are many ways to give, and all of them are deeply appreciated.
