The Committee
The Cultural Advisory Committee, comprised of Castlegar Arts Council members, provides the Castlegar and District Recreation Commission with advice and recommendations on strategic cultural development direction and related matters. The Committee also serves as a liaison function for organizations in the community who are engaged in the development and delivery of cultural programs and initiatives which are intended to promote and enhance programming, business and tourism opportunities. The primary goal of the committee is the identification of Castlegar as a central Arts and Cultural destination for Castlegar residents and visitors.

The Project
In the summer of 2012, the Castlegar Cultural Advisory Committee met with representatives of the arts and culture community in the Castlegar area. The meeting was convened by the Cultural Advisory Committee to report to stakeholders about the committee’s purpose and activities, to receive feedback on services, and solicit input for future action. In response to the Report to the Cultural Advisory Committee which arose from this roundtable meeting, a new website to replace the existing Culture at the Confluence website was developed and launched in January 2014.
The Culture at the Confluence website was designed and developed in an effort to support and promote the wealth of arts, culture and heritage offerings in Castlegar and Regional District Areas I and J with a goal of providing enhanced public access to information about local artists, artisans, clubs, organizations, attractions, activities, venues and events in a single, comprehensive location. In addition to presenting a portal to information, Culture at the Confluence is dedicated to cultivating a vibrant cultural community by providing a means to connect our citizens and to encourage the use of our cultural resources and engage participation in local events and activities.
It is through the participation of all that the Cultural Advisory Committee can achieve the goal of providing complete and comprehensive information, for both visitors and residents, at a one-stop access point for Culture at the Confluence. The information available on this website has been provided collectively by those in our arts, culture and heritage community who are listed throughout these pages. While we strive to ensure that all information is current and correct, if you believe information is obsolete or has been printed in error please contact us. If you know of someone in our cultural community who is missing from our pages please refer them to our submission forms.
