Art for Everyone.

ABOUT US

ECAH (formerly the Esquimalt Community Arts Hub) is a non-profit organization that prioritizes low barrier, accessible and inclusive arts opportunities for everyone. We provide engaging, thought-provoking and innovative arts programming at the community level.

The arts hub has pivoted away from a physical space at the time being.
