Art For All Fund for Inclusivity

At Nanaimo Art Gallery, we believe art should be for everyone.

We are committed to making our programs accessible by removing financial barriers whenever possible.

Thanks to our Art for All Fund, we’re able to offer reduced or fully subsidized program fees to individuals and families who need support.

Whether you’re seeking assistance or looking to give, the Art for All Fund helps ensure that everyone in our community has the opportunity to engage with art.

To reach out for assistance, please use the contact form below. Should you have the capacity to pay-it-forward and contribute to our Art for All Fund, please find the Donate section below.
