Serving the South Cariboo Arts Community since 1975
Your 100 Mile & District Arts Council: Who we are and what we do.
Established in 1974 and incorporated in 1975, the 100 Mile & District Arts Council is a volunteer-
community based umbrella organization for local arts and cultural groups. We are dedicated to developing
opportunities for area residents to experience and/or participate in creative and cultural endeavours.
We strive to meet this objective by awarding grants to our arts-
budget allows it, by sponsoring concerts featuring professional Canadian performers. We also award up to
three scholarships annually to students graduating from our senior secondary school who are entering
arts-
Since 1999, we have given our member groups over $60,000 to help them offset some of their operational
costs. During the same time period, we have awarded $13,000 in scholarships. We have raised these
funds through grants from the BC Arts Council and income from our annual Winter Arts & Craft Fair.
We know that the groups we support would probably exist without us. However, we sincerely believe that
our grants have made life a bit easier for our following members:
