MISSA MAGIC

 

Each year, artists from near and far, come together to share in a spirited creative exchange at MISSA’s Summer Arts Program. The Summer Arts Program, since 2022, takes place on the beautiful campus of Shawnigan Lake School in the Cowichan Valley, on Southern Vancouver Island, close to Victoria, B.C. The sprawling campus sits among forested trails and is adjacent to the 7-kilometre long Shawnigan Lake. This rugged natural environment is the perfect backdrop for artistic exploration and expression. It’s easy to see why many participants return year after year to be part of this ‘MISSA Magic’.
