Plans for the future

In 2023 Renascence purchased an historic piece of land in Ymir BC.

Our organization has been presenting arts programming in Ymir for over 15 years, with shows at the Ymir Schoolhouse, the Tiny Lights Festival and the Studio in Ymir. Our longterm goal is to build a purpose-built building that will allow us to continue to support artists in the region.

We are currently in the rezoning process to change the designation of the land to one that would allow artists to make and sell their art and permit an artist residency space. We are seeking a site specific zoning.

Our hope is to build an arts centre in Ymir that honours the history of this property and amplifies the unique voices of rural artists. We hope to provide our town with a vibrant space that serves the community.
