The Township of Esquimalt has an active and creative arts community. The mission of the Township Community Arts Council (TCAC) is to engage our community and promote Esquimalt as a healthy arts and cultural centre recognized for its natural beauty and artistic excellence. We partner with artists and other volunteer groups to stage a wide variety of annual events and programs. We strongly support local artists and promote the importance of arts and culture in terms of community well-being and economic activity. We’re “Powered by Purples”, an enthusiastic group of volunteers that comprise our Board of Directors, event organizers, artistic directors and a legion of community members who give their time, imagination and dedication to arts and culture.
