Proudly Promoting The Arts On The Coast Since 1970!

Celebrating over 55 years promoting the arts in Tofino, Ucluelet, and First Nations communities along the Central West Coast of Vancouver Island, BC, Canada... Proudly one of BC's longest running Arts Organizations.
‍
Since 1970, Pacific Rim Arts Society's (PRAS) goal has been to contribute meaningfully to the happy healthy local west coast communities, by bringing people together through arts and culture.

PRAS is a volunteer-based, non-profit society. Our volunteers and members have introduced hundreds of community residents and thousands of visitors to the work of local and visiting artists, including visual artists, carvers and sculptors, actors, writers and poets, filmmakers, dancers, and musicians.
