About the Arts & Culture Map
The Arts & Culture Map (formerly called the Art Walk Map) is a guide that highlights the arts and cultural locations in the Hope region. This free online and printed map highlights the creativity, culture, and history of Hope & District.
You can pick up a free printed copy of the map at the Hope Arts Gallery and the Hope Visitor Centre.
The purpose of the Arts & Culture Map is to create an inventory and tool to highlight the many wonderful art and cultural attractions the region has, as well as to profile artists working in the region. The map showcases local artists, artisans, heritage sites, and other unique cultural spots to provide residents, visitors and anyone interested with direction and information on great things to see and do.
