Discover Art Access Program

We believe experiencing the arts is a right regardless of financial means.

“artsPlace has made it possible for us to participate in the arts and culture programming in our community. Thank you so much from my family.”

artsPlace works with the Towns of Canmore and Banff and their respective affordable services programs to identify residents eligible to receive subsidies of 50-65%. These subsidies are funded by artsPlace through the generosity of our donors.

By ensuring our programs are accessible to every member of the Bow Valley community, we are part of a coordinated community response that provides eligible residents with increased access to supports aimed at making the Bow Valley a livable community for all.

  • Tier 1: Eligible participants receive a 65% discount off regular prices for multi-week courses and a 50% discount off workshops, movies, special screenings and live performances.
  • Tier 2: Eligible participants receive a 35% discount off regular prices for multi-week courses and a 25% discount off workshops, movies, special screenings and live performances.

Program participants are not eligible for early class registration, and Discover Art Access Program benefits cannot be combined with artsPlace Membership benefits.
