A thriving arts and culture scene is the heartbeat of a connected city. Your Burnaby Arts Council is here to help strengthen that pulse.

We Elevate Artists

From emerging creators to seasoned professionals, we provide the space, support, and visibility artists need to share their work and grow their craft. Through all of our programming, mentorship opportunities, performances, workshops and other annual events, we help artists bring their creative visions to life.

We Create Meaningful Experiences

Imagine wandering through an interactive art installation, losing yourself in a live performance, or discovering a new perspective through a thought-provoking exhibit. We host free and low-barrier events, workshops, and festivals that invite everyone to engage with the arts in new and exciting ways.

We Build a More Creative Burnaby

A thriving arts scene makes a city feel alive. That’s why we work closely with artists, cultural organizations, and local leaders to keep the arts at the heart of Burnaby’s future. Through advocacy, partnerships, and public engagement, we’re shaping a city where creativity is encouraged and essential.

Art should be accessible to all, and as such admission to the the majority of our programming is by donation.
