Alright, lets jump right in.
Nanaimo Art Gallery
The Nanaimo Art Gallery, very located kinda near the city’s waterfront, is actually a hub where local and international art kinda meet. Very often showcasing kinda diverse collections, that actually range, even from the works from rising local talent to internationally- recognized artists. First, there’s contemporary painting and it actually gets you to kinda feel a connection. You, know? So, I think that’s what you call “expression!” More or less, it gives something to those in community, you know, looking, in other words, for inspiration, insight, and basically a thought-provoking experiences. Typically, the Gallery does hold a bit of workshops, tours and activities so all ages learn about the artistic world.

The Port Theatre
Oh, the Port Theater, often known very much as Nanaimo’s central spot for performing art. In that case, what do you do? Is that, it is a location showing art of the city. It’s almost everything there is there. Seriously! Oh you got dance shows? Right there. As I was saying! Do you know what is the cool part? Well there’s classical orchestra. Then the theatrical creations are pretty cool. I want to emphasize too, the important thing! Not really for entertainment. Obviously. Anyway. The Theater also offers workshops that allows all who love to perform. That is it.

Nanaimo Museum
The Nanaimo Museum, located kind of in the heart of town, offers you a peek into this region’s interesting past. The first impression is quite big, honestly it offers glimpses into how Nanaimo transformed from, oh, that mining hub to the town we’re quite keen on today, you know? Like your, one of its key pieces does highlight, sort of, the history, almost of the Snuneymuxw First Nation – people, yet that actually called this island home for 100s of years. That said, so, the Museum uses objects, pictures and tales from the past. It offers education opportunities in order for us to fully connect more, in that case, on local heritage.
