"The Britannia Legion was one of the first venues where I played music in 1968. I had just left the Canadian navy at 21 years old. Was paid $7.00 for 2 sets of 4 songs each. I remember this place fondly and was sad to see it go." Gerry Karagianis
We're here to help artists and arts organizations reach their audiences and each other.
Non-profit run and created by the community, ArtsVictoria.ca integrates current event listings and multimedia arts portfolios, and creates an explorable, living archive of the arts in Victoria BC.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
