Mixing Art With Business

Art Rave is coordinating the pairing of local Art Rave member artists with Port Alberni businesses, during the month of August. This project runs parallel to Art Rave’s inaugural Arts Festival being held in and around the historic train station at Kingsway Crossing, in the heart of the uptown and Rotary Arts District, on August 17th and 18th, 2013.

During the festival weekend there will be a number of artists’ demonstrations happening on site and at various participating businesses. Come view local and international artists works, in businesses around town!
