  • Event Cost: Pay-What-You-Can

From March 20th-26th, the Penticton & District Community Arts Council is working with local community members to run 20+ low-cost workshops and activities open to all! Tickets are either pay-what-you-can or subsidized from their initial cost. These activities are all by the community, for the community – made and facilitated by people who want to share their knowledge and passion.

In line with our programmatic theme of Sustain/Ability, many of the activities available engage with our native flora and fauna, and encourage participants to strengthen the connections between themselves and the land they live on.
