The world has come to know Whistler as a paradise for playing outdoors, and rightly so, but now, thanks to a vibrant year-round program of engaging visual art exhibitions and events, Whistler has been not-so-quietly becoming one of BC’s arts and culture hubs. Nestled nicely among some of nature’s finest works, Whistler is also home to the Audain Art Museum, a gorgeous home recently opened to established and emerging BC artists, as well as an important collection of Indigenous pieces.

Wolves: The Art of Dempsey Bob at the Audain Art Museum from April 2 to August 14, 2022 is the first-ever retrospective exhibition of this noted BC artist’s work drawn from public and private collections across Canada. Bob’s production from the 1970s to the present is rooted in the visual as well as oral traditions of his Tahltan and Tlingit ancestors. This master carver’s oeuvre includes masks, helmets, spoons, rattles, panels and wall sculptures alongside a variety of other media such as bronze casting, gold smithing, print making and robe design.

The Whistler Children’s Festival is back for its 39th year!
This year, with a new format and surprises around every corner, enjoy not one but TWO weekends (May 20-22 & 27-29) filled to the brim with adventures along the Cultural Connector. We are talkin’ arts and crafts, dance parties, yoga, face painting, circus acts, magic shows and internationally acclaimed children’s performers! No wonder we need two weekends.
The final two weekends in May, the Maury Young Arts Centre will host back-to-back performances and workshops with the likes of Will’s Jams, Kellie Haines and Native Thunder to name a few! Start your imagination engines, unlock your creativity, and most importantly, get ready to have FUN!
There are also many FREE activities to enjoy every day of the Fest – from art scavenger hunts to entertainment on the Village Stroll and balloon twisting outside of the Arts Centre. Get your walking (or dancing) shoes on and prepare for a jam-packed family adventure along Whistler’s own Cultural Connector!
