Our take

A small city-owned building in Lagoon West Park, leased to the Arts & Culture Colwood Society, which fills it with rotating shows, a gift shop of local work, painting and printmaking workshops, and open mic nights for music and spoken word. Most of the work is done by volunteers. In September the society spills out into the park for the Lagoon Arts & Culture Festival.
