The creative resilience of the arts community is at the heart of B.C. Culture Days.
And Sooke will be a major focus.
“It’s really about imagining what communities look like throughout this pandemic and coming out of it,” said Lynda Slater, a board member of the Sooke Arts Council.
“We took this project on because we thought it was an excellent way to get Sooke on the map.”
Under the theme Re:Generate Sooke, events will be put on both virtually and in person. You can view videos online featuring art and music, or pay a visit to the Sooke Region Museum.
