An opportunity to indulge in the arts

The Sechelt Arts Festival was presented in collaboration with the highly successful Sunshine Coast Art Crawl, creating a well-rounded weekend of arts events.  Visitors participated in a variety of programs.  It was a unique opportunity for the public to immerse themselves in arts and culture in a rural community.  With programs like ‘Art in the Streets’, the District of Sechelt was literally alive with art.
