Your Organization
Vancouver Island MusicFest works directly with community organizations to address issues that will make our event – and our planet – a better place.
Each year the production team identifies priority issues and seeks partners in the community to give life and direction to our objectives. For 2009 the event priorities are: waste reduction and diversion, reducing water bottle use, composting, kids and family free activities, alternative power, participatory art projects and eco-education about the fairgrounds, the river and the Comox Valley.
If your community organization is interested in contributing time, volunteer resources, networks, cash or supplies to help us meet our goals in 2009 please email us at info@islandmusicfest.com and we’ll discuss it further!
2008 VIMF Community Art Project
Last year Vancouver Island MusicFest, and over 25 community organizations, undertook a large scale participatory community art project as part of the lead up to Vancouver Island MusicFest 2008.
Community art is culture in action. It is a collective expression of the values and hopes of the community. It welcomes professionals and amateurs and brings down barriers between ‘artists’ and ‘non-artists’. We are all participants in the culture of our community – as actors, painters, singers, players, writers, dreamers, teachers, parents, volunteers or audience.
