Whistler Arts Council
The Whistler Arts Council (WAC) is a registered charity established in 1982 with a mandate to build and integrate the arts into the fabric of the community of the Resort Municipality of Whistler and surrounding areas.
Annual events and programs include: Whistler Winter Arts Festival, Out of Bounds: Tales from the Backcountry, ArtWalk, Whistler Children’s Art Festival, Whistler Art Workshops on the Lake, ARTrageous, Bizarre Bazaar, Whistler Street Entertainment and an annual Performance Series. WAC provides the annual Student Art Awards and Bursaries, an annual Artist Award of Excellence, Member Group Grants, resources, and information to artists, the community and outside organizations.
WAC acts as a referral service, information network and co-programmer, incorporating local arts and culture in other community events and programs for the purpose of educating and advancing the public's understanding and appreciation of the visual, performing, and literary arts. Since June 2010, WAC operates Maurice Young Millennium Place – a 250-seat theatre and Whistler’s hub for arts and culture.
