The Penticton and District Community Arts Council was formed in 1960, the mandate being to stimulate, encourage and foster the arts in our community.
Throughout the years the Arts Council has added arts events, programs, public education and outlets for arts and crafts. It has lobbied for the arts locally, provincially and federally and continues to provide, through the Leir House Cultural Centre, a home for myriad cultural groups.
