Who We Are

The Omineca Arts Centre is an interdisciplinary, locally-led artist run centre that is grounded in arts-based community develop­ment. Omineca is set to facilitate collaboration and diversify opportunities for emerging & professional visual, literary, musical and performing artists.

Why Omineca

The Omineca Arts Centre is located in a storefront in the pe­destrian core of Prince George's downtown. First operating at the site of the Neighbourhood Time Exchange I Downtown Prince George, an innovative artist residency project led by artist Justin Langlois with Living Labs at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. During the project, 9 artists and artist groups worked directly with community organizations over the course of a year, generating dialogue and a range of socially engaged activities that revealed a significant community need for a more permanent local model of arts-based community engagement. Omineca was initially established in partnership with Emily Carr University of Art + Design and Two Rivers Gallery.

Our aim at our new location is to co-develop meaningful and collaborative artistic projects, experiences, and models for catalyzing arts and culture in Prince George and the surrounding region, while prioritizing inclusivity, responsiveness, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
