Harbour Artists

Harbour Artists is a community group with a gallery and studio in Madeira Park. After painting informally together, they became tenants of an old B.C. Forestry building, offered in 1987 by the SCRD. The group's initial renovations gave them gallery space in the summer. By 1993 the building was sufficiently renovated for a year-round studio and gallery. They offer the Ada Priest Memorial Fine Arts Bursary for a Pender Harbour grad pursuing a career in fine arts. Ada was a driving force behind the group's creation.
