Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development - Arts and Culture
Arts and Culture
The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development
develops and administers government policies and
programs that support a vital and sustainable
arts and cultural sector.
The Arts and Culture Branch, of the Arts, Culture and Sport Division, through policy development,
strategic initiatives and fostering
collaborative creative industry partnerships,
supports the contribution of arts and culture to
the economic and social well-being of British
Columbians.
Two government agencies also help to carry out
this mandate.
The
British Columbia Arts Council administers operating and project support for
artists and organizations, and aims to engage
all British Columbians in a health arts and
cultural community that is recognized for
excellence.
The British Columbia Film Commission, which reports through the Arts, Culture and Sport Division, oversees production activity in the province, markets the province as a motion picture production location, and offers a full range of services and information resources for producers and production companies.
