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 takes place on Southern Vancouver Island, close to Victoria, B.C. 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’.
The Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts acknowledges that we gather on the territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən speaking Peoples (Songhees and Xwsepsum) and Sc’ianew Peoples, who have cared for these lands and waters since time immemorial. We honour their rich cultures, artistic practices, and ongoing stewardship of this place.
