The Kamloops Arts Council has moved its office to The Old Courthouse Cultural Centre at 7 Seymour Street West. We share this wonderful "new" space (the building turned 100 in July 2009) with Arnica Artist Run Studio and The Courthouse Gallery Cooperative.
We also have a new gallery, Kamloops Arts Council's Main Gallery which hosts our member artist's wonderful work throughout the year.
Our hours have remained the same to serve you as we always have; please come visit us, our new gallery and the rest of the amazing arts groups that are housed under one roof!
