Beschreibung
Our Art Center is an intentionally unintentional community situated on a rural 29 Acre property in the Cowichan valley on Vancouver Island. Which is close to rivers for swimming, the ocean and ferry to Salt Spring Island. The Art Center has an interesting history. Its 29 acre location was subdivided off 150 acres that was known as Lakeveiw Farm. L. F. Solly settled and cleared the farm in 1907 when he relocated from Victoria.
Our community is made up of musicians, artists, authors and people involved in things from nursing to agriculture.
