Nanaimo Performing Arts

Dance and Theatre

Nanaimo is often described as "artsy". And it's no wonder - that just goes with the territory. Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands have always nurtured artistic temperaments, because of the natural beauty, and perhaps because this is a "frontier", and for other reasons.

Indeed, Nanaimo has more than its share of talent and interest in the arts.
