Who We Are




The Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre is managed by the Revelstoke Visual Arts Society as a not-for-profit community facility dedicated to the exhibition and promotion of the visual arts.


It is governed by a board of directors and is registered under the British Columbia Societies Acts.


Although The Centre was originally established and managed by the Revelstoke Art Group in 2003, in collaboration with the City of Revelstoke and the Revelstoke Art Council, local artists quickly realized that proper management of the facility required the formation of a separate organization whose sole purpose that would be. As a result of discussions between the Arts Council and the Art Group it was decided to organize the Revelstoke Visual Arts Society in the autumn of 2003.


The Centre is operated by the Revelstoke Visual Arts Society. Its board of directors is comprised of the following people:
