A vibrant
creative community
on Salt Spring Island.
From our home in historic Mahon Hall, SSAC promotes the role of the Arts in establishing a healthy and vibrant community. SSAC provides opportunity for creative growth by supporting participation in the Arts, through education, programming, advocacy and by linking Salt Spring arts and artists beyond our shores.
We are humbled and grateful to live and create on unceded Coast Salish territories, including those of the Hul'qumi'num and SENĆOŦEN speaking peoples.
