“We’re here to make the branding of The Arts & Cultural Highway a household name in a global market place and establish the arts as a growing industry that promotes talented people, benefits your quality of life and attracts tourists world-wide.”

Karl Schutz ~ Founder & CEO

The Arts and Cultural Highway Foundation is about ~ well, it’s really all about you. We’re a not-for-profit association of artists, arts organizations, commerce, tourism and community leaders. Now in our seventh year of operations, our goal remains to encourage the vision and talents of local artists across the creative media, and to market their artwork to audiences internationally.

From this goal, we created The Arts & Cultural Highway ~ a virtual showcase of the artists who have registered with our Foundation. This Web-based portal and database allows consumers of art to search or browse through our roster of artists, looking for something specific or maybe just discovering something new.

The Arts & Cultural Highway is the brand name originally applied to the physical geographic area included in our Foundation; Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, the Sunshine Coast and the Greater Vancouver area, now gone global through the wonders of the Internet.
