COVID-19 resources for creative workers. That probably means you!Â
Comox Valley Arts  has implemented a Remote Work Plan as of Monday, March 16, 2020. We will do our best to ensure services continue to clients and stakeholders, with the exception that our physical office will be closed to walk-in traffic.
This decision reflects our commitment to employee health and well-being. It is also our intent to proactively sustain service to our industry by taking social distancing measures available and appropriate to our organization’s day-to-day activities.
CVA is hard at work behind the scenes liaising with municipal, provincial and federal governments to ensure that we all stay informed, have support, and build resources during these trying times.
We are proud to support, promote and celebrate our local artists in all genres.
We do this through fostering a mindset of Arts and Culture first as the driver of quality of life in our community.
