Promoting the Arts in Quinte West
Arising out of a need for stronger promotion of the arts in Quinte West, Arts Quinte West was formed in 2008. Growing from a few members committed to seeing the organization grow, we held numerous exhibitions of the work of local artists. We began offering memberships in 2010 and adopted our constitution in 2011. A volunteer Board of Directors organizes our own events based on suggestions from our membership and takes part in numerous community events during the year.
In 2011, our annual Autumn Show and Sale has grown into Arts Extravaganza 2011, a collaboration with the Arts Program at Trenton High School for an exciting day-long art show and sale. This event helps to fulfill part of our mandate to encourage young talent in our community. We hope to see you at Arts Extravaganza on November 12.
Arts Quinte West is grateful for support from the City of Quinte West, the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and Trenval.
The purpose of Arts Quinte West is to bring together people of all disciplines of the Arts with a common goal to encourage, promote and showcase their talents by staging appropriate events in Quinte West thereby raising awareness of the Arts and enhancing the quality of life in the community.
