Community productions, professional touring artists, exhibitions, workshops & more.

ArtSpring acknowledges the unceded territory and the ancestors of Salt Spring Island, the Coast Salish First Nations peoples of Salt Spring and surrounding areas, who continue to use and steward these lands. We at ArtSpring wish to pay respect to the Elders of this land, past and present.

ArtSpring is a community performing and visual arts centre on Salt Spring Island, B.C. – one of the Southern Gulf Islands off Canada’s west coast. The building is an 11,800 square-foot, two-level, heavy timber structure, boasting a 6,600-square-foot, 259-seat theatre, and a 5,200-square-foot exhibition/multi-purpose area. Artists Birgit and Robert Bateman officially opened the building in April 1999.

ArtSpring hosts 300 events each year, primarily associated with rentals by local performing and visual artists of all ages. Our curated season of professional touring artists – ArtSpring Presents – features events that are chosen to complement and enhance what is already available through local arts organizations.
