The
purpose of the Artist in Residence program at the Arts Centre at Cedar
Hill is to encourage creative collaboration between professional
artists of all disciplines and the broader community. The program is
based on the principles of 'Community Cultural Development.'
Program Description: The Artist in
Residence program is organized through the Community Arts Council of
Greater Victoria (CACGV) and supported by Arts Centre at Cedar Hill and
the Saanich Legacy Foundation. The ongoing program is designed to be
financially sustainable. The expected revenue goal is 20–25% of the
budget and could be generated in a number of ways including: artist led
workshops or presentations, community participants paying a nominal
amount, sponsorships, donations or grants. Both CACGV and the Arts
Centre at Cedar Hill will provide in-kind resources to support the
program which will be allocated on a case- by-case basis. These may
include studio space, exhibition opportunities, community connections
and staff support.

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

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
