The Mission Arts Council aims to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive cultural landscape that celebrates creativity, nurtures artistic expression, and connects communities. Its purpose is to enrich lives, foster collaboration, and contribute to the cultural identity and overall wellbeing of its community. The Council believes that the arts are essential to human experience and is dedicated to promoting diversity, supporting artists, and enhancing education through the arts.

The Mission Arts Council operates in Mission, British Columbia. Its events, programs, and outreach focus on this community nestled along the north side of the Fraser River. All key initiatives and activities are designed for the residents of Mission and reflect its rich local arts and culture scene.

The Council highlights a variety of longstanding and new arts programs for all ages. It offers pottery classes in its clay studio, outdoor summer art camps, a horror film festival, and the annual Fraser Valley Children’s Festival. There are bereavement clay classes for children and youth in partnership with Mission Hospice, Christmas craft markets, and programs for Indigenous arts and culture. The Council also undertakes initiatives like community outreach, youth development, and a planned arts-wellness program targeting isolated seniors.
