The Kamloops Arts Council Office and Gallery is now located in The Old Courthouse Cultural Centre at 7 Seymour Street West.  We share this wonderful venue (the building turned 100 in July 2009) with Arnica Artist Run Studio and The Courthouse Gallery Cooperative. 

Our gallery is called the 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 gallery and the rest of the amazing arts groups that are housed under one roof!
