We are pleased to announce
today that a new alliance between the Municipality
of Saanich and the Community Arts Council of Greater
Victoria (CACGV) has been formed, that will merge the
offices and gallery of the (CACGV) into the brand new
Arts Cente at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre. The new
Arts Centre at Cedar Hill is nearing completion and
is anticipated to open in mid-July.
This is a significant 'landmark' announcement for
everyone involved in the local the arts community,
as this new alliance will have a long term influence
on local artists as well as the arts community in
general throughout the Capital Region.
With over 300 members and an important history of supporting
local artists and the arts community for over 42
years, the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria
(CACGV) is poised to move into a new location that
will provide a home-base for the organization to
conduct its ongoing operations and activities.
"The mission of the CACGV is to provide advocacy through leadership,
partnership and community involvement, and to increase and broaden public awareness
and opportunities in artistic and cultural activities. Moving our office and
gallery to the new Arts Centre at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre, will provide
our organization with a stable long term residence that will allow us to focus
upon growing our involvement in the community and in fulfilling our mission
into the future" said President Bob Williams. Williams also commented: "When
considering potential locations for a new CACGV home the new Arts Centre at
Cedar Hill fit all of the important criteria we required including artist working
spaces, gallery and display space, socialization and reception spaces as well
as office space".
"This is truly a win-win situation for everyone involved in the arts
throughout the Capital Region. By working collaboratively with the CACGV the
new Arts Centre at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre will be well on its way in
fulfilling its mission of becoming a regional hub for artists and in providing
a centre for the arts to flourish and thrive. Saanich’s new alliance
with the CACGV represents one of the most important landmark developments in
recent history for the arts community." said Carole Ireland, Manager
of the Arts Centre at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre.
