About Island Mountain Arts
Island Mountain Arts has been operating in the vibrant 1930's gold rush town of Wells since 1977 and is just down the road from Barkerville Historic Town & the Bowron Lakes. Island Mountain Arts runs a Public Gallery/Artisan Gift Shop, School of the Arts, featuring courses in visual, literary & performance arts, including the Toni Onley Artists' Project and the International Harp School. In 2004 it created the ArtsWells Festival of all Things Art held annually on the August Long Weekend, which features tons of music & workshops, visual art installations, plus the One Minute Play Festival. In the summer of 2014, Island Mountain Arts launched the CAWS For the Nest Campaign to raise funds to purchase a property in the historic commercial district of Wells in order to run an Artist-In-Residence program and expand its capacity for arts programming in the Cariboo.
