History

ArtSea Community Arts Council has played an essential role in the cultural and artistic activities on the Saanich Peninsula since 1991. Formally known as the Community Arts Council for the Saanich Peninsula (CACSP), ArtSea is a registered charitable organization which offers a variety of arts-related programs throughout the year and rental space to artists at the ArtSea Gallery in Tulista Park, Sidney BC.

Dianne Cross was the original founder of the Society. A student scholarship, The Dianne Cross Award for the Arts, is sponsored by ArtSea each year in honour of Dianne’s remarkable contribution to arts and cultural activities on the Saanich Peninsula.
