Creativity, it’s in our nature.
Art on the Rails is an outdoor art exhibition on display for the month of February at four locations along the Slocan Valley Rail Trail.
A snow sculpture at Crescent Valley and a series of digital print signs representing a variety of artists are accessible to ski or walk to (200m) from four trailhead locations: Crescent Valley, Passmore, Winlaw and Slocan until March 21
st, weather permitting.
The project is a collaboration between the Slocan Valley Community Arts Council and the Slocan Valley Heritage Trail Society, thanks to funding in part by the Slocan Valley Legacy Fund.

Slocan Valley Community Arts Council President Eden DuPont says part of the 50-member regional arts council’s mandate is to promote arts and culture, but that has been nearly impossible to do since the pandemic struck. “It’s been particularly difficult not being able to host events, but we recently came up with an idea to collaborate with the Slocan Valley Heritage Trail Society to use their recreational trail to exhibit art work,” she says.
