About the Arts & Culture Map
The Arts & Culture Map is an inventory for residents, tourists, local organizations, and planners, that highlights the arts and cultural opportunities in the region. The free online and printed map highlights the creativity, culture, and history of Hope & District.
The purpose of the Arts and Culture Map is to create an inventory and tool to highlight what the region has to offer, as well as to profile artists and online businesses working in the region. The cultural map will showcase local artists, artisans, heritage, and other unique cultural aspects and provide tourists and visitors with information on what to do and see while visiting.
