Activities: Tofino Art, Artists & Art Galleries

There's something about Tofino that inspires. Is it the air, or is that just the scent of freshly-carved cedar? Here, a community of painters, sculptors, wood carvers, potters, photographers, digital artists, musicians, glass blowers, weavers and writers thrive by creating their own artistic expressions.

Start your exploration of Tofino art right at the Inn, where our extensive collection highlights the best West Coast talent. Start with a visit to the beachfront carving shed where Lyne Des Rosiers, Feather George and other Tofino artists wield their tools in making traditional First Nations and contemporary cedar carvings. Then, venture into Tofino, where galleries showcase local work such as pieces woven of soft cedar bark, a First Nations tradition, as well as paintings of the timeless Tofino landscape, and locally-blown art glass. Artist Roy Henry Vickers' longhouse-style Eagle Aerie Gallery is a landmark. Formerly a Tofino resident, Roy visits a few times every year to share some mystical storytelling with an open audience and to present new work produced in his signature graphic style. Visit local bookstores to browse the engaging works of Tofino writers, and don't be surprised to see a selection of artwork and jewelry displayed in restaurants and coffee shops around town.

The Outside Break collection of businesses, by the Inn, is where you'll find colourful glass blower Sol Maya and his Spirit of the Fire studio, as well as wood carvers Mark Mickey and Keith Plumley (also a woodturner), who often collaborate together on large, stunning pieces. And there's more. In Tofino, you'll discover the nature of true art.
