What We Do To Support The Arts
The Foundation awards scholarships and bursaries in support of excellence, innovation, diversity and community involvement. In addition we host and participate in events to support the arts in the community like our annual talent contest, art workshops and fundraisers. The work of the foundation is supported through the active participation of volunteers, membership fees, donations and corporate sponsorships, with additional funding from government programs and a Vancouver Foundation Endowment Fund. All monies received by the Peninsula Arts Foundation go directly to the scholarship program and events, and all directors on the Board are volunteers.
The Arts In Our Community
The arts are one of the best ways we create something special for ourselves. A community which encourages the development of good music and dance, quality design, exciting drama and provocative presentation is one worth supporting. The arts help us to see and understand the world – as it is and as it might be. Appreciation for the arts, developed in youth can become a lifelong pursuit. Can you imagine a world without it?
