Second Annual Winter Auction

We believe in a vibrant, flourishing, and sustainable artistic community that is inclusive and accessible to all. Proceeds from this online auction will support our Arts Matter Program. Through our in-person and online Arts Matter programming, we offer a wide variety of free artistic events for our community. From arts and crafts to musical performances -- there is something for everyone!

One goal of this fundraiser is to raise money to support the purchase of supplies for our Art Supply Packages. The packs will be going out to children and seniors who are connected with our community partners such as SOWINS, SOICS, Starfish Pack, OneSky, and more!

We have already put together 750+ packs this season! A bunch of these are going out to the children in Princeton who have been affected by the natural disasters.

You can also donate money directly to this cause by following the link here: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/pdcac/

Thank you to our awesome community for your donations!

About the Penticton & District Community Arts Council

This beautiful land on which we gather, work, play, and live, is the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) peoples, who have been here for thousands of years.

2020 marked the 60th anniversary of the Penticton & District Community Arts Council and our 40th anniversary as managers of the Leir House Cultural Centre. We serve the people of the City of Penticton, Regional District Areas D, E & I, and tourists who visit year-round. We partner with artists and art groups for in-person exhibitions, festivals, markets, workshops, art walks, and performances.

We believe a creative community is a healthy and connected community. Our fiscal year runs July 1st to June 30th.

Together, we are reducing barriers to art-making and creativity while building a vibrant, flourishing, and sustainable artistic community for all!
