The BC Arts Council acknowledges it carries out its work on the traditional territories of Indigenous nations throughout British Columbia. We pay our respects to the Elders, past and present, descendants and custodians of these lands. We honour the knowledge keepers and the continuing relationships with Indigenous peoples in BC that develop through our work together. The BC Arts Council is grateful to the Lkwungen (Songhees) and Xwsepsum (Esquimalt) ancestors and families, on whose traditional lands we operate our main offices.

COVID-19: We are committed to supporting B.C.'s artists and cultural organizations through this difficult time. This includes updating our policies and programs as necessary to match the challenges the sector is now facing. The most up-to-date information will always be posted on our dedicated COVID 19 FAQ page<https://www.bcartscouncil.ca/funding/covid-19-updates-and-faq/> and individual program pages. Updates will also be announced on our Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/BritishColumbiaArtsCouncil/>, and Twitter<https://twitter.com/BCArtsCouncil> accounts.
