The Regional Event program centres on working with local leadership to host in-person gatherings in communities and regions throughout the province. These mini-conferences bring people together, and provide opportunities for Arts BC to engage with more members and communities.

Arts BC has held annual conferences for many years, including virtually in 2020 and 2021. In 2023, as we planned for future conferences, we concluded that the best way to serve our members and community, was to increase Arts BC’s presence in additional communities throughout the province, and move from an annual to bi-annual conference schedule.

This eventually led to the inception of our Regional Events program, as we reflected on the impact of locally-focused events, in addition to our full provincial conference. The majority of Arts BC’s members are based outside of urban centres, and we heard that the time and financial commitments required to travel long distances on an annual basis are challenging for many of our members. 

Thanks to the feedback from our members, we came to learn that there is a demand for Arts BC to co-create in more communities with local organizations. We’re pleased to be working with local leadership in various communites to host a series of in-person Regional Events that provide opportunties for people to gather, connect, and share ideas.
