Much of the support and work in each community is conducted by a base of hard working individuals. The arts associations, arts councils and arts groups across British Columbia aim to bring organized awareness to their communities. GoBC supports their efforts and honors their commitment by providing free marketing for Canadian arts organizations and artists.
